[Ken Shirriff] is apparently very cool, and when he found out the Computer History Museum had a working IBM 1401 mainframe, he decided to write a program. Not just any program, mind you; one that ...

This project is a simple command-line program written in Rust that generates an image of the Mandelbrot set and saves it in the PPM (Portable Pixmap) format. Pixels belonging to the Mandelbrot set ...

The Mandelbrot set – the fractal ‘snowman turned on its side’ seen above – has graced the covers of magazines, journals, and has even been exhibited in art galleries. An impressive feat for what is ...

This Mandelbrot Set Generator allows you to choose the power of the Mandelbrot Set's recursive equation. This program uses Pygame to illustrate the set and NumPy to create the complex plane that the ...

The line snakes around the lobby of the Cooper Union Great Hall in lower Manhattan in a complex, seemingly random way. It is at least an hour before the doors will open, but the chaotic assemblage ...

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 ...

April 1 -- An astonishing instance of mathematical anticipation has recently come to light, showing that a monk discovered a complex formula centuries earlier than previously thought. The Mandelbrot ...

The image above, generated from a relatively simple mathematical formula, has become iconic and permanently connected with the man who identified it: mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot. But its iconic ...
