The so called 'Little Apple Man'
Instructions: Wait until the Mandelbrot set is ready. To select a zoom area, click the mouse down and push. Mouse click without push brings the start-area back.
Description: Every point gets a spectral colour which is like the number of loops when the sequence
Zn = Zn-1² + c
Z is a complex number, n is the loop counter and c is the constant value of the point
goes to infinity. All points which do not approach infinity become black and are a part of the Mandelbrot set.
This fractal was found 1976 by Benoit Mandelbrot. It is a symbol for the Chaos-Theory. The description of nature by mathematics became natural.
