3D Mandelbrot

3D visualization of Mandelbrot Fractal

The Mandelbrot set has its place in complex dynamics, a field first investigated by the French mathematicians Pierre Fatou and Gaston Julia at the beginning of the 20th century. The first pictures of it were drawn in 1978 by Brooks and Matelski as part of a study of Kleinian Groups.
Mandelbrot studied the parameter space of quadratic polynomials in an article which appeared in 1980.The mathematical study of the Mandelbrot set really began with work by the mathematicians Adrien Douady and John H. Hubbard, who established many fundamental properties of M, and named the set in honor of Mandelbrot.
