    About this ebook

    Like the early explorers who would travel to strange and exotic lands and send back reports to the Royal Geographical Society, I have been wandering the complex plane and have discovered some truly fascinating harbors in Lake Mandelbrot.

    I think you will agree with me that there are some very special places to be found by the "Fractal Explorer" who ventures into this strange land. So, pack your bags and join me on a voyage of discovery!

      Preface

      The Fractal Explorer

      There are some very special places to be found by the fractal explorer who ventures into this strange land.

      Like the early explorers who would travel to strange and exotic places and send back reports to the Royal Geographical Society, I have been wandering the complex plane and have gathered some truly amazing images for you to enjoy.

      Don’t let the technical stuff scare you away!

      If you’re into math and philosophy and stuff like that you will probably enjoy some of the background information. If not, just enjoy the images and the beauty of fractals. This journey is just as much for the artist as it is for the scientist!

      So, pack your bags and let’s go discover some amazing places!
