    Complex numbers are often used in fractals, such as Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. Complex numbers (z in this example) come in the form

    a and b are real numbers. a is the real part, and bi is the imaginary part, where i is the square root of -1, (therefore i*i = -1) - there is no square root of -1, - this is why it is imaginary.
