Quadratic: Lame
z2 – 1 = 0
Quadratic – Less Lame
z2 – 1 = 0
Cubic – Not Lame
z3 – 1 = 0
Cubic – Still not Lame

Why the fractal?Near a critical point,
the tangent lines hit most of the x-axis. Thus most of the domain is mirrored near the critical point.
With two or more critical points, each critical point mirrors all of the other critical points.
Why the fractal?
Why Newton’s Method?

Other Methods - Bisection
Bisection on x3 – x = 0
Other Methods - Secant
Secant – Real Case
Secant – Complex Case
Other Methods – Steepest Descent f(x, y)=0 and g(x, y)=0 f(x, y)2 + g(x, y)2
