The Fractal Geometry of Nature is a 1982 book by the Franco-American mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot.

[1][2] The Fractal Geometry of Nature is a revised and enlarged version of his 1977 book entitled Fractals: Form, Chance and Dimension, which in turn was a revised, enlarged, and translated version of his 1975 French book, Les Objets Fractals: Forme, Hasard et Dimension.

[3] As technology has improved, mathematically accurate, computer-drawn fractals have become more detailed.

Many examples were created by programmers working with Mandelbrot, primarily at IBM Research.

These visualizations have added to persuasiveness of the books and their impact on the scientific community.
