Staff Review
This lesson picks up from where the previous video left off. Transformations of figures are discussed by multiplying coordinates of images by complex numbers. The resulting geometry is very interesting. Fractals in complex geometry are also shown and explained in great detail, including Julia and Mandelbrot sets.
