《英国的海岸线有多长》这篇石破天惊的论文是芒德勃罗在1967年发表的.其实早在1961年,芒德勃罗已经用与科赫雪花曲线同属一类的“病态数学怪物”成功地解决了困扰美国国际商用机器公司(IBM)工程师们多时的实际问题———如何消除计算机通讯线路中的噪音问题.芒德勃罗是1958年
“How long is the coastline of Britain?” This astounding paper was published by Mandelbrot in 1967. In fact, as early as 1961, Mandelbrot had used the “morbid mathematical monster” in the same category as the Koch snowflake curve. Successfully solved the practical problems that plague American International Business Machines (IBM) engineers -- how to eliminate noise problems in computer communication lines. Mandelbrot was in 1958.
