Re: Mandelbrot Set ... in the 13th Century?

I like going thru such Funny Articles as compared to One Liners!!
Thx!
If two or more thoughts intersect, there has to be a point!

Hi MathsisFun;
I am afraid that I went for it all the way.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Coming from Yale I assumed it was real, but began to doubt as I read it.

That is what I missed, that it came from Yale . If I had noticed that I would have suspected something.
