Michael Lee Frame

Michael Frame is an American mathematician and retired Yale University professor. He is a co-author, along with Amelia Urry, of Fractal Worlds: Grown, Built, and Imagined. At Yale, he was a colleague of Benoit Mandelbrot and helped Mandelbrot develop a curriculum within the mathematics department. After leaving his physics major because the lab requirement was "something in biophysics with killing frogs," He received the McCredie Prize for best use of technology in teaching at Yale College, the Dylan Hixon '88 Prize for teaching excellence in the natural sciences, and the Yale Phi Beta Kappa chapter's DeVane medal for undergraduate teaching. In the section, called "Michael Frame, Friend and Colleague," he calls Frame an "indispensable" professor.
