Iterated functions: The Mandelbrot Set

By -

I have always enjoyed this aspect of mathematics. These videos will make you familiar with the concept of the Mandelbrot Set, which is an example of a fractal, and is related to the Julia Set. Fractals are also exemplified in nature, in trees, leaves, snowflakes, water droplets, and so forth.


I hope you enjoy the following videos and please feel free to discuss them... Two videos are from the University of Nottingham in Great Britain.
