Question

What's the equation for the Mandelbrot?

Answer 1

The fractal?

Answer 2

Err, set I guess

Answer 3

Wikipedia says z_n+1 = (z_n)^2 + c

Answer 4

OK, so what do I plug in there to get a Mandelbrot?

Answer 5

You plug in any complex number, and then plug in the resulting number, etc. If you get a bounded sequence, then it's part of the set. If not, you throw that number (and by extension, the rest of the set) out.

Answer 6

\[z_{new} = z_{old}^2 + c\]
where c is the complex value started on
