This presentation will describe the beautiful object known as the Mandelbrot set. While this set is extremely complicated from a geometric point of view, we will show that, as long as you know how to add and how to count, you can understand this fascinating geometry completely. The goal is to show students how exciting contemporary mathematics is.
