About Gaston Julia

Gaston Julia was a Complex Analysis mathematician born in 1893. He invented infinite beauty using one equation.

Julia sets — the fractal patterns now seen in every digital art tool. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 20th century, an era of unprecedented mathematical discovery.

The impact is still felt today. Julia sets power modern computer graphics, CGI, and visual effects.
