Journey into the World of Fractals : Tamonas Gangopadhyay at TEDxXLRI

For Tamonas Gangopadhyay, professor of qualitative technique and systems selective, XLRI, what matters most is words and mathematics. Nothing holds more significance than the fine print. His collection of over 3,000 books is his prized possession and Tamonas has found a new world for himself in them.Walk into his office and you will find more in this man's booty. A PHD in mathematics, he loves Coetze as much as he adores the Brahms. He prizes his complete collection of Kafka just like he can't get over Beethoven.



A man with a classy taste in literature and music, he has more eclectic hobbies than these. He enjoys playing with fractals, those kaleidoscopic patterns that are formed when you apply the right amount of "harmony" to mathematics.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
