The equation is: Zn+1=Z^2+C where C is a complex number namely x+yi. The idea is to make a grid on the computer screen with the boundary of -2 to 2 for the x axis and -2 to 2 for the y axis. Then you start calculating the set by putting every coordinate in the constant C and Z. You use the point as an initial value as well as a constant. It is very similar to the Julia Set. In fact, Mandelbrot claimed that the Mandelbrot Set have contain every Julia Set. I hope this can help you a little. Ben Fok fokp@rpi.edu
