R2
Robert P. Munafo, 2008 Feb 2.
R2 is the R2-name for the entire Mandelbrot Set. This entry identifies its largest features; most of these have entries of their own.
The internal angle article gives precise formulas cor computing the coordinates of many of the features listed here.
Major Features
In the ASCII ilustration on the right, features are identified with numbers 1 through 9. Explanations follow:|
