🌀 Mandelbrot Set
The Mandelbrot set is the set of complex numbers c for which the iterated function z→z²+c does not diverge to infinity when starting from z=0. Plotting which points belong to the set produces an infinitely detailed fractal boundary containing endless self-similar variations, one of the most recognisable images in mathematics.
