 The mathematical roots of the idea of fractals have been traced throughout the years as a formal path of published works, starting in the 17th century with notions of [[recursion]], then moving through increasingly rigorous mathematical treatment of the concept to the study of [[continuous but not differentiable functions]] in the 19th century, and on to the coining of the word ''fractal'' in the 20th century with a subsequent burgeoning of interest in fractals and computer-based modelling in the 21st century.
-The term "fractal" was first used by mathematician [[Benoît Mandelbrot]] in 1975.
+The term "fractal" was first used by mathematician [[Benoit Mandelbrot]] in 1975.
 Mandelbrot based it on the Latin ''frāctus'' meaning "broken" or "fractured", and used it to extend the concept of theoretical fractional dimensions to geometric patterns in nature.
