First edition. Gaston Julia, born February 3, 1893, in Sidi-bel-Abbès, Algeria, and died March 19, 1978, in Paris, was a French mathematician specializing in functions of a single complex variable. His 1917–1918 results on the iteration of rational functions (obtained simultaneously by Pierre Fatou) were brought back into the spotlight in the 1970s by Benoît Mandelbrot. The Julia and Mandelbrot sets are closely related.
