A second-order embedded Julia set

This is a picture from the Mandelbrot Set, one of the most well-known fractal images in the world. (Click it for a larger version). The Mandelbrot Set is one of my hobbies, and I have collected a large amount of information about it. To organize that information I have created Mu-Ency, a large collection of text files linked to each other.

Here are some entries from Mu-Ency:

Mandelbrot Set: The mathematical definition.

History: How the Mandelbrot Set was discovered, how it became popular, etc.

Exploring: The many things you can expect to find when you explore on your own.

Area: I have been involved in finding the area of the Mandelbrot Set. Here are the latest results.

Algorithms: How to compute the Mandelbrot Set and how to draw it.

R2 Naming System: I have also developed a rather precise (and complex) naming system for features of the Mandelbrot Set. Mu-Ency presents many examples of this naming system.

Some entries with pictures of parts of the Mandelbrot Set are: R2, Cusp, Paramecia, Seahorse Valley, Delta Hausdorff Dimension.

You can also look up specific terms in the index.
