MATHEMATICS

The maths behind the picture

Every piece is computed, not drawn. These are the real equations and numbers from the program that made this exact piece.

What these numbers mean

This window is magnified 517 times, at a place where the set has no interior: everything you see is the thin filaments of the boundary itself. Points around them escape after 26 steps on average, and each point's colour is exactly that count.

HISTORY

Where this idea comes from

Mandelbrot

  1. 1918

    Gaston Julia and Pierre Fatou study the iteration of complex functions, with no computers, only pencil and paper.

  2. 1978

    Robert Brooks and Peter Matelski publish the first picture of the set, printed in characters on a line printer.

  3. 1980

    Benoit Mandelbrot at IBM explores the set by computer and reveals its infinite complexity. He had coined the word "fractal" in 1975.

  4. 1982

    Adrien Douady and John Hubbard prove the set is connected and name it after Mandelbrot.
