FAQ:

Q: What is the Mandelbrot Set?
- A: The Mandelbrot Set is a famous fractal defined by iterating a simple mathematical formula 𝑧_𝑛+1=𝑧²n for complex numbers 𝑐. Points within the set are those for which the sequence remains bounded under iteration, while points outside the set escape to infinity.
Q: How is the Mandelbrot Set generated?
- A: The Mandelbrot Set is generated by iterating over each pixel in the complex plane and determining whether the corresponding complex number is part of the set based on a maximum iteration threshold. The color of each pixel is determined by the number of iterations required to determine its membership in the set.
