The techniques I developed for studying turbulence, like weather, also apply to the stock market

I went to the computer and tried to experiment. I introduced a very high level of experiment in very pure mathematics.

For much of my life there was no place where the things I wanted to investigate were of interest to anyone.

When people ask me what's my field? I say, on one hand, a fractalist. Perhaps the only one, the only full-time one.

I didn't want to become a pure mathematician, as a matter of fact, my uncle was one, so I knew what the pure mathematician was and I did not want to be a pure - I wanted to do something different.

Unfortunately, the world has not been designed for the convenience of mathematicians.

Order doesn't come by itself.
