Fractal Links:



Zooming In On the Mandelbrot Set
Start here. Not interactive, but an excellent place to start to get an idea of what you'll be doing when you use an interactive program.

On-line Mandelbrot Set Explorers:




Boston University Mandelbrot Set Iterator
Nice. The window at the left will show the behavior as each point is iterated in the mandelbrot function. Increase the "maximum iterations" if you are seeing too much black space.

http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/mandy/
Fast and obvious to use. Quick Julia Sets. Detail is not great.
Black Saturn Mandelbrot Explorer I think you'll like it.

http://math.bu.edu/DYSYS/explorer/page1.html
Almost a tutorial, with loads of information. Great if you're interested in expanding your knowledge.
Clark University Mandelbrot & Julia Set Explorer Easy to use but a little slow. One really nice feature is the option to download the image as a .gif file. Could be handy if you're thinking of publishing Mandelbrot art... 

Software to Download:



Download MandelZot
for MacIntosh, choose the third MandelZot link, for PPC. Email me if you have trouble following the directions. This is a very nice program.
Info about and Download for FractInt
FractInt has been around for awhile. Windows, Unix, other versions available. 
MandleQuick
Mac only. Very nice easy to use software, also a gallery of amazing images from the m-set.
