Wolfram Demonstrations Project

Each Julia set on the right corresponds to a quadratic polynomial of the form

. You can use the locator to choose the complex number

from the picture of the Mandelbrot set on the left. The Julia set will be a connected set precisely when

lies in the Mandelbrot set.
