Benoit Mandelbrot's Edge Bio Page

Anche Willmott  ha una pagina dedicata a Mandelbrot, dove è possibile scaricare alcuni articoli che discutono alcune conseguenze delle sue idee in finanza. The Rough Guide, scritto per celebrare l'ottantesimo compleanno di Mandelbrot, è una leggibilissima introduzione alla vita e al contributo di Mandelbrot. Per chi non ha paura della matematica raccomando caldamente l'articolo di Bouchaud e collaboratori: The Dynamics of Financial Markets: Mandelbrot's Multifractal Cascades, and Beyond - Lisa Borland, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Jean-François Muzy, Gilles Zumbach .
