In this lecture we describe via a combination of computer experiments,
animations, and mathematical techniques the beautiful mathematics that
lies behind the Mandelbrot set. While many people have seen the intricate
and beautiful patterns that form the boundary of this set, few realize
that each of these patterns has its own specific mathematical meaning and
that mathematicians can understand this
complexity in full detail. The only prerequisites for this talk is a
working knowledge of complex numbers. Toward the end of the talk, things
will get pretty "advanced" as we will show you the "real" way
to count and to add.
