Benoit Mandelbrot made mathematical accomplishments in physics, information theory, and finance. However, he is by far best known for his organization and rigorous development of the geometric objects known as fractals, a word which he invented. Specifically, his studies of fractals lead to his development of what are now called Mandelbrot sets, which provided the spark that started the fire with regards to the research of chaos theory.
