  2. Plotting algorithms for the Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotting_algorithms_for...

    A more computationally complex method that detects escapes sooner, is to compute distance from the origin using the Pythagorean theorem, i.e., to determine the absolute value, or modulus, of the complex number. If this value exceeds 2, or equivalently, when the sum of the squares of the real and imaginary parts exceed 4, the point has reached ...

  3. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    As noted above, the absolute value of a real or complex number is the distance from that number to the origin, along the real number line, for real numbers, or in the complex plane, for complex numbers, and more generally, the absolute value of the difference of two real or complex numbers is the distance between them.

  4. Cobweb plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_plot

    For a given iterated function :, the plot consists of a diagonal (=) line and a curve representing = (). To plot the behaviour of a value x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} , apply the following steps. Find the point on the function curve with an x-coordinate of x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} .

  5. Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

    Thus, a complex number c is a member of the Mandelbrot set if, when starting with = and applying the iteration repeatedly, the absolute value of remains bounded for all >. For example, for c = 1, the sequence is 0, 1, 2, 5, 26, ..., which tends to infinity , so 1 is not an element of the Mandelbrot set.

  6. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  7. Complex plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_plane

    The distance along the line from the origin to the point z = x + yi is the modulus or absolute value of z. The angle θ is the argument of z. Argand diagram refers to a geometric plot of complex numbers as points z = x + iy using the horizontal x-axis as the real axis and the vertical y-axis as the imaginary axis. [3]

  8. Absolute number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_number

    Absolute zero, the lowest limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale; Absolute magnitude, a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object; Relative change and difference, used to compare two quantities taking into account the "sizes" of the things being compared; Absolute (disambiguation) Number (disambiguation)

  9. Number line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_line

    The order of the natural numbers shown on the number line. A number line is a graphical representation of a straight line that serves as spatial representation of numbers, usually graduated like a ruler with a particular origin point representing the number zero and evenly spaced marks in either direction representing integers, imagined to extend infinitely.
