Zusatztext
"Certain noises, many aspects of turbulence, and almost all aspects offinance exhibit a level of temporal and spatial variability whose ""wildness""impressed itself vividly upon the author, Benoit Mandelbrot, in the early1960's. He soon realized that those phenomena cannot be described by simplyadapting the statistical techniques of earlier physics, or even extendingthose techniques slightly. It appeared that the study of finance and turbulencecould not move forward without the recognition that those phenomena representeda new second stage of indeterminism. Altogether new mathematical toolswere needed. The papers in this Selecta volume reflect that realizationand the work that Dr. Mandelbrot did toward the development of those newtools."
