Roughness

Enough party fun times... Time for something a bit more serious and also maybe more interesting. If you don't know about chaos and fractals the you should get involved as they are a beautiful mathematical phenomenon. I think it is fair to say that whatever you do in your life you regularly encounter apparently fractal phenomena whether it is in nature, art or mathematics. Even if you are interested in none of these things just walking about spotting fractals and chaos can be fun (it really can, I promise!). If you are intrigued to learn more James Gleick's Chaos is a readable classic that really gets you into the heads of the crazy scientists who discovered the significance of fractals. More immediately here is a great talk by legendary genius Benoit Mandlebrot on "Roughness".
