Julia sets and the famous Mandelbrot set will be introduced and interesting properties of their boundaries will be described. We will conclude with a discussion of problems at the boundary between complex dynamics and other areas, including a nice application of the material we have learned to a problem in astrophysics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-06-23T17:57:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complex dynamics", "typical first course", "complex analysis", "undergraduate level", "julia sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 56, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
