The image of the Mandelbrot set is one of the most recognizable representations of a fractal. But what's behind the entrancing picture? In this interactive, learn a bit about how we generated our ...

The Mandelbrot set, according to Wikipedia, is “the set of complex numbers for which the function does not diverge.” Even if you don’t understand the mathematics behind it, you’ve likely ...

Over the last half 50 years, fractals have challenged ideas about geometry and pushed math, science and technology into unexpected areas.

While the Mandelbrot set is instantly recognizable to a lot of math-interested people, I think many of them are hard-pressed to describe what it actually is.

Utilizing their ‘Java Grinder’ application (also pretty awesome, especially the retro console support), a simple Mandelbrot fractal generator was used as a non-trivial workload to produce ...
