The two main components of chaos theory are the ideas that systems - no matter how complex they may be - rely upon an underlying order, and that very simple or small systems and events can cause very complex behaviors or events. […] Chaos-system studied by computer Benoit Mandelbrot.

When iterative equations are applied to points in a certain region of the complex plane, a fractal from the Mandelbrot set results. Changing number + fixed number = Result Benoit Mandelbrot was born in Poland in 1924. […] [Some time after 1977, and] with the aid of computer graphics, Mandelbrot was able to show how [an almost forgotten mathematician] Julia's work was a source of some of the most beautiful fractals known today. The Mandelbrot set is made up of connected points in the complex plane. The simple equation that is the basis of the Mandelbrot set is included below. Fractals make up a large part of the biological world.
