This example is a Mathematica 6 Demonstration version of the example given in Chapter 5 of Complex Analysis with Mathematica. The idea is to explain basic bifurcations by the use of complex variable theory. This topic is explored by finding out when the roots of high-degree polynomials are real, and stable or unstable under the cobweb map. Such an analysis shows precisely where and how the first few bifurcations occur. Further information about the book is at the author's website.
