Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow
A little miracle
where others fail
At least he will be

I hate the Peano Space
and the Koch Curve
Mandelbrot Set
I fear the Cantor Ternary Set
The Sierpinski Gasket
So if you ever lose your way
Right now he's still alive
Mandelbrot Set - you're
makes me wanna cry
And a million miles away
a Rorschach test on fire
a butterfly flapped its wings
On a cold November day a man
and teaching math at Yale
You're a day-glo pterodactyl
named Benoit Mandelbrot was born
His disdain for pure mathematics
You're a heart-shape
d box
and his unique geometrical
insights Left him well equipped
will come to take you home
A butterfly will flap its wings
He gave us order out of chaos
of springs and wire
to face those demons down
He saw that infinite complexity
You're one super frickin fractal
could be described by simple
rules - Used his giant brain
He gave us hope
and you're just in time
and he turned the game around
And he looked below the storm
to save the day
Saw a vision in his head
A bulbous pointy form
from a million miles away
when there was none
Sweeping all our fears away
Picked his pencil up
and he wrote his secret down
You can change the world
Just take a point called Z
in a complex plane
His geometry succeeds
in a tiny way
Let z1 be z squared plus c
and z2 is z1 squared plus c
Mandelbrot'

and z3 is z2 squared plus c
