Welcome to Fractal Forums

I have a 15 minute-long tutorial on my website that gives a very detailed explanation of the Mandelbrot Set, yet it can be understood by anyone with a good knowledge of middle-school math.  Please check it out and leave a comment for me on my comments page.  Thanks!

applause, beautiful tutorial, excellent language and description of the terms

great work !

fantastic work, i'll be referencing that a lot :)

even though it does take about ~10 minutes to get to from mathematical ground zero, it's great to have it cogently explained in one sitting; hooray for low-hanging mathematical fruit!

Very nicely done and very useful! Thanks for sharing it!

i have made this topic sticky, because it is a perfect video ! O0 :police:

i think the chaos game would also make for a good game  :angel1: O0

It is a great tutorial. I never thought the Mandelbrot Set was such a simple thing. Does anyone know where to find tutorials on the Julia set ?

There are quite a few written documents (.PDF, .DOC, .HTML, etc...) that teach the Julia sets.

Or were you inquiring about a video for that purpose??

This tutorial is wonderful. It even makes a dump person like me to understand.

Thanks a lot.

Wow - this tutorial is fantastic!  I am a total noob to fractals and the mandelbrot set, having only just coming across the latter yesterday for the first time.  After reading lots of info on the internet I was thinking I would never understand such a complex subject, but your tutorial makes the theory of it all so straightforward and easy to understand.
So many thanks for making it and putting it on here.
Awesome!
 :D

I certainly think a video would be nice.

A quick search using Google, with the following keywords:
   Julia set video tutorial
Will supply several links that should be of interest.  Here is but one of them that came up:

well this was the first time that I watch the creation of a fractal, it has been very clarifying, thank you so much I am learning. :)

Thanks to bilboll & nahee for tutorials. 

excellent thread! Am getting wiser with every second :D  wohoe!

That was AWESOME!!  A concise and straightforward explanation that exposes some pretty amazing mathematical realities.  My respect for fractals has increased exponentially (within the confines of 1 and -2, of course).

Great video! It helped to clarify a lot about what I've been 'guessing' about fractals, and also enlightened me regarding the complexities!

Thanks for sharing.

Very good explanation of the Mandelbrot Set.

Where has this excellent vid gone to?!
Just getting a 404 message now, and after I put
a - I thought -very helpful link on dA too!  :sad1:

Kein Problem! Eröffne einfach einen Thread mit deinen Fragen im entsprechenden Forum (http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?board=168.0), benutze die Forensuche oder schreib mir ne PM.

on topic: still 404 error :(

I watched the tutorial and just received "The Amazing Mandelbrot Set" DVD. The tutorial alone was worth paying for; very well-done and a perfect example of how to explain a subject to almost anyone. I need some help getting MacFract to work but will ask for it on another part of this site.
Have a great day,

This was awesome, really is amazing how simple the mandelbrot set is to define.

Thanks, I am a newbee to this. I love playing with photoshop and manipulating photos (3 years). But am going to try and expand. Thanks for the tutorial which I will have to watch again. Mark

I found this video a long time ago on google and it really helped me, thanks a lot!

Thanks for the clear explanation.

BTW the page renders with some server side code: <%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%> and the guestbook link is 404.

Beautiful presentation!  Very eloquent and precise explanations, and coupled with the graphics, it's truly awesome!  I'll be adding a link to it from my site.
