From Wikipedia:
“Benoît B. Mandelbrot (born November 20, 1924) is a Polish-born French mathematician and leading proponent of fractal geometry. He is Sterling Professor of Mathematical Sciences, Emeritus at Yale University and IBM Fellow Emeritus at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center.”
From my fiance, while reading the Misbehavior of Markets by Mandelbrot:
“He’s saying that most theories for predicting market volatility are based on normal distributions, but technically they’re based on log-normal distributions.”
I’m engaged to the smartest person in the world.
