Understanding the Mandelbrot Set

What is the Mandelbrot Set?

The Mandelbrot set is a mathematical set of points in the complex plane, the boundary of which forms a fractal.

Definition: z_{n+1} = z_n² + c

where:

  • z₀ = 0
  • c is a complex number
  • Point c is in set if |z_n| ≤ 2 for all n
  • Sequence diverges if |z_n| > 2
