This is a rendering of the Mandelbrot set I generated with Python! For those of you who don't know, Python is a super powerful programming language and the Mnadelbrot set is a collection of numbers that satisfy a simple condition but create a complicate, intricate shape!
The Mandelbrot set uses a forumula that takes any complex number c (has a real and imaginary part) and the complex number z=0+0i. It repeatedly evaluates z squared plus c, and if the number stays small, it is part of the Mandelbrot set. My python code takes a pixel on the screen and converts it to an imaginary number and plugs it in for c, then converts the result back to a pixel and colors it black if it's part of the set, and if it's not, colors it based on the number of iterations it took to grow large. Complex numbers are written in the form a+bi, so my code graphs them as points (a,b).
