"Most of science has been about things one cannot see. You cannot see atoms, molecules, certainly not smaller particles. The shapes of mountains and clouds, the behavior of rivers, all these [visible] things were left aside. It was a paradox, but science must be pragmatic. If somebody spends a lifetime saying, "The most important thing is to find a formula for mountains," he won't make a living. " -Benoit Mandelbrot

Mandelbrot will give two talks this week:
2:00 Thursday, Third Floor, Smith Center, Portland State University
7 Friday, Science Technology Lecture Series, Schnitzer Auditorium
