Curated OER
Fractals Lesson Plan
Students create fractals. In this lesson, students use a computer program to explore different types of fractals.

The Mandelbrot Set
Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot set...

Complex Analysis: Complex Variables
In this complex variable worksheet, students use functional iteration to find the fixed points of a function. This two-page worksheet explains the functional iteration, the Julia Set and the Mandelbrot set. Four problems are included.

Two-Variable Function Pump Exploration Questions
Guiding students through two variable (complex) functions, this worksheet helps them perform complex arithmetic on 6 expressions. They iterate several functions with given starting points, determining whether each is a prisoner, escapee,...

The Mandelbrot Set
Students explore the Mandelbrot Set. They are introduced to the concept of a complex number and function in order to motivate the discussion of Julia and Mandelbrot sets. Students investigate fractals and how they are built.
