The mandelbrot fractal is a map of how behaves each point of the plan when applying a series to it.
A series is a string of values calculated in an iterative way: You apply a formula to a seed pair of coordinates , you call the resulting pair of coordinates the first term. Then you apply the same formula to the first term and you get the second term, and so on. The points where the Mandelbrot series terms stay around a fixed value (the series converges) are normally colored in black and form the typical "bug" shape. The points where the series diverges (the result goes out of reach) are normally shaded or colored depending of the number of terms it takes to get out of reach. Check Jark's site for more advanced techniques, beautiful images and the QB source of a fractal explorer. http://mandelbrot.dazibao.free.fr/
