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.
