"The 'B' in 'Benoît B. Mandelbrot' stands for 'Benoît B. Mandelbrot'."
We had an extra credit quiz involving people, and I didn't quite get this one.
I know what the Mandelbrot set is but I don't know anything else, all I know is that it looks weird and sometimes when I zoom in it looks like the same image.
Can someone explain the significance of this statement?
As others have said, it's about self similarity and also recursion. Another example is GNU - GNU is Not Unix (the G in GNU stands for GNU).
