Chapter
Six
Fractal Geometry
It can be argued that the
mathematics behind these images [of the orbit diagram for quadratic functions
and the Mandelbrot set] is even prettier than the pictures themselves.

Set," College Mathematics Journal, Vol. 22, no. 1, Jan. 1991
The sections hopefully will be written in the future; until then, here are a few web links to get you started in your investigations.

diagrams.
