== In popular culture == The indie music satirist Jonathan Coulton's song, "Mandelbrot Set", is dedicated to Mandelbrot, who at the time of the song's release "is still alive and teaching math at Yale." The song incorporates the concepts and images associated with order out of chaos. Mandelbrot Set, you're a Rorschach Test on fire You're a day-glo pterodactyl You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire You're one badass fucking fractal And you're just in time to save the day Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way The song's pre-chorus describes a mathematical equation that is not the Mandelbrot Set, to which Coulton has said, "if any of you are mathematicians and you’re just waiting anxiously to come up to me afterwards and point out the fact that the equation is not quite right, that I actually described a Julia set, and not a Mandlebrot Set, I already know that shit." Mandelbrot appears in the Epstein files. Less than two years removed from his initial sentencing in Florida, in an email exchange Epstein offered $50,000 for Mandelbrot's papers. Mandelbrot ultimately postponed selling his papers, giving his declining health as reason. A meeting was scheduled in Cambridge on Sept. 12, 2010. The pair were also photographed together at some point at Epstein's New York City home.
