Examples for

Mandelbrot & Julia Sets

The Mandelbrot set is one of the most well-known and well-studied examples of a fractal. Wolfram|Alpha knows about this fractal as well as related concepts like Julia sets and variants of the Mandelbrot set like Mandelbar and Multibrot sets. Use Wolfram|Alpha to visualize, test membership and examine associated Julia sets.

Julia Sets

Compute the Julia set (associated with points in or out of the Mandelbrot set) of any polynomial or rational function.

Plot the Julia set of a quadratic polynomial:

Plot the Julia set of an arbitrary polynomial:

Plot the Julia set of a rational function:
