These images are of the 'Mandelbrot' sets for polynomials z d + c for various d (for d=2 we have the Mandelbrot set). These images were drawn with the XAOS software. This software will also compute ...

The Mandelbrot ... got this set rendering on an Atari, but managed to create animated videos of the results. Emulators were key to the project’s success. Doing the work was no mean feat.

The Mandelbrot set is — when visualized with some colors — an interesting shape with infinite detail. While the patterns are immediately obvious to the human eye, anyone who’s run one can ...
