Benoît B. Mandelbrot died in Massachusetts on October 14th from pancreatic cancer.

Mandelbrot was easily one of the most groundbreaking modern mathematicians, and probably the most awarded of the 20th century, and for good reason. It's rare that people of this caliber live among us.

It regulates how your body processes sugar and produces insulin. Only know this because of how many diabetics are in my family.
