The Mandelbrot set is a two-dimensional mathematical set that is defined in the complex plane as the numbers ${\displaystyle c}$ for which the function ${\displaystyle f_{c}(z)=z^{2}+c}$ does not diverge to infinity when iterated starting at ${\displaystyle z=0}$. It was first defined and drawn by Robert W. Brooks and Peter Matelski in 1978, as part of a study of Kleinian groups, with Benoit Mandelbrot obtaining the first high-quality visualizations of the set two years later. Images of the Mandelbrot set exhibit an infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recursive detail at increasing magnifications; mathematically, the boundary of the Mandelbrot set is a fractal curve. The Mandelbrot set is well-known outside mathematics and is commonly cited as an example of mathematical beauty. These images, generated by a computer program, show an area of the Mandelbrot set known as "seahorse valley", which is centred on the point ${\displaystyle -0.75+0.1i}$, at increasing levels of magnification.Image credit: Wolfgang Beyer
