fractal name recognition quiz

[Roger Bagula]

This question idea comes from having people i meet
not know who Benoit Mandelbrot is.
There are just some names someone working in fractals probably should
know?
I'm going to throw in some trick questions , too.

1) Who is Benoit Mandelbrot?

2) Who is Felix Hausdorff?

3) Who is William McWorter?

4) Who is Daniel Mauldin?

5) Who is Michael F. Barnsley?

6) Who is F. M. Dekking?

7) Who is Michael L. Lapidus?

8) Who is G. Rauzy?

9) Who is Pierre Fatou?

10) Who is Kenneth Falconer?

11) Who is Michel Henon?

12) Who is Gaston 'no nose' Julia?

13) Who is Rollo Silver?

14) What was the famous topologist Sierpinski's first name?

15) Who is Felix Klein?

16) What is Bescovitch's first name?

17) Who is Jeff Berkowitz?

18) Who is John de Rivaz?

19) Who is H.-O. Peitgen?

Dear Roger,

Thx for answer (:-)) ( but this is my page ).
These are some names of people describing local dynamics
near :
- attracting fixed point ( Koenigs coordinates)
- superattracting fixed point (Boettcher coordinates)

Regards

Adam

Adam Majewski
Can you expand on these algorithms/ give a code or pseudo code
example?
Explain how exactly they work?
