Born in Warsaw, Mandelbrot lived in France from the age of 12 to the end of his college studies. He was born into a family with a strong academic tradition - his mother was a medical doctor and his uncle, Szolem Mandelbrojt, was a famous Parisian mathematician. His father, however, made his living trading clothing. His family left Poland for Paris in 1936. There, Beno?t was introduced to mathematics by his two uncles.
