Hello, and welcome to my website. This site is the home to my Mandelbrot fractal generator Java applet, which I call Mandelmania. Here you will find fractal art in the form of images, wallpapers, prints, and videos, which have been inspired by my journey into the Mandelbrot set.
Have I become obsessed with this new art form? Have I fallen to that affliction that Arthur C. Clarke calls "Mandelmania" in his book Ghost of the Grand Banks? Well, maybe so, haha, but it makes for some nice images, anyway.
If you would like to learn how the Mandelbrot set is computed, click here.
Also here you will find a mortgage calculator applet which I wrote. Look for it in Other Java. It is interactive, in that it updates principal & interest graphs as well as amortization tables as the sliders are moved or new values are entered. For those who know about Java, this applet is a JDK 1.0 applet, while the Mandelmania applet is a Swing applet, which works best using Sun's newest
Java Runtime
Environment.
NOTE: Java implementations among different platforms and browsers vary slightly, so there may be differences in the way you see these applets. If something strange happens in your browser, please let me know by sending an e-mail with your operating system type and browser version to ian@mandelmania.net.

At last, I've finally completed a high definition (HD) fractal animation I've been working on. The quality of it is reflected in how much time I spent in making it. (It's really cool! I hope you agree!) The 1080p version takes a long time to load, so you might want to check out the 720p version first.

Sadly, Benoît Mandelbrot, the father of the Mandelbrot fractal, died on October 14, 2010 of pancreatic cancer. I pay tribute to him here, as this website would not exist if not for him. For more information, view the story at The New York Times: Benoit Mandelbrot, Novel Mathematician, Dies at 85.

Check out my concept anagram generator concept app; it's written using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and is basically a servlet/ajax application.
Check out my 3D animation video I made for my 3D animation class with 3ds Max.
Check out my video, Mandelmania v2, I made for my operating systems class.
