Benoit B. Mandelbrot was a French American mathematician, celebrated for developing the "theory of roughness" in nature and the field fractal geometry to help prove it, from which he coined the word "fractal." Mandelbrot won the Wolf Prize for Physics in 1993, the Lewis Fry Richardson Prize of the European Geophysical Society in 2000, the Japan Prize in 2003, and the Einstein Lectureship of the American Mathematical Society in 2006. Likewise, the small asteroid 27500 Mandelbrot was named in his honor, and he was made a Knight in the French Legion of Honour in 1990.
