Julia sets are defined as | |
z_{n+1} = zₙ² + c | |
where zₙ ∈ ℂ and c = x₀ + iy₀ | |
Mandelbrot sets are similar, but z₀ is fixed, and c ∈ ℂ. | |

plotIterates | |
Plots iteratations of the Julia function from in initial point z₀ ∈ ℂ and parameter c | |
Parameters | |
z₀: Starting point | |
c: Control parameter | |
n: Number of iteratations | |
Returns | |
Plot of n iteratations | |

Hi John,
I read your posts the "The Growing Gap" and "Mathics and Nebo", great articles.. I believe that we will still depend on oil and gas till very long, no matter if we try to convert to renewable energy, all still needs fossil fuels. Politics, can be counted on why we still depend on oil and gas.
I am studying master degree "Mathematical Engineering" now in Erasmus Mundus program, in italy. It is very tight schedule, I hope I can manage to learn them all and pass the exams.
About Pluto, why is it slow? Why the creator name it the slowest moving planet? Even if it is not included as planet anymore currently, but next time we learn from this case that we shall name something with similar analogous meaning, name is a prayer I believe.
You are an amazing person, not only smart, but want to share your knowledge in your blog for free, I wish one day I have the chance to write article suitable for your blog and then I will show it to you, probably it can be published on your blog.
I have this imagination that your articles can be printed on leaflet like Rosary' paper that can be folded and back and forth it could contain 2 articles. Your articles is a science based that can be useful for the Economies, people will be more knowledgeable, I am from a poor country thus I know the most effective way to make a country to be rich is by the right education with morale value.
An example is if more people read your blog/articles there will be less uneducated people and therefore better country, less inequality, people be more productive and smarter.
About human kind, I feel pessimist today, I am in Europe now, and I still see a lot of negative impacts of overpopulation, throwing trashes randomly, even in London too. Are electric cars and rockets really going to be breakthroughs or only to showing Pride of some clans/nations. After trashing the earth therefore trashing Mars and Space?
Working at MIT is a great opportunity, I believe you worked hardly before and very intellectual that is why you are there right now, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. All the best.
