Udo of Aachen (XIII sec.), copyist, monk,
mathematician, the poet of Carmina Burana.
Discovered the Mandelbrot (fractal) set
well before Mandelbrot (1976), but without
any help from computers.

I'm a bit mixed.
Leonardo invented the "@" symbol.
Udo and not Peano, Gaston Julia or
Benoit Mandelbrot, was the first fractalist.
Who then invented "extropy", really?
