Brooks and Matelski

2008 Feb 20.



Robert Brooks and Peter Matelski are credited with being the first to publish an image of the Mandelbrot set. Their article concerns discreteness criteria for Kleinian groups. The illustration, which appears on the last page of their article, looks roughly like this:
