  1. Hi Jorge, congratulations for your blog. I find it very intesante.

    On the first post may indicate certain bibliographic references on Mandelbrot set. I found this link on google http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

    On the other hand, this type of fractals have any application in the field of science?

  2. Hi Vladimir. Thanks for your comments. Indeed fractals were a hot topic in the mathematical world some years ago because it opened a new way to understand nature. Fractals/ Dynamical Systems/ Chaos were based on the same thing: recurrence. So, this is the feature to look into any object of study were fractal can be applied. Obviously there more characteristics to it, Self-similarity, etc. Applications of it today can be found in Economics, Medicine and even Movies. I have seen articles that even it is used in cryptology.
    Popular names to google about are: Mandelbrot, Peitgen, Julia, etc. Hope this helps a little bit.
