iFractal

Benoît B. Mandelbrot (born November 20, 1924) is a Polish-French-Jewish-Amer ican mathematician, best known as the "father of fractal geometry".
Natural fractals include the shapes of mountains, coastlines and river basins; the structure of plants, blood vessels and lungs; the clustering of galaxies; Brownian motion. Man-made fractals include stock market prices but also music, painting and architecture. Far from being unnatural, Mandelbrot held the view that fractals were, in many ways, more intuitive and natural than the artificially smooth objects of traditional Euclidean geometry.
Mandelbrot has been called a visionary.[8] His informal and passionate style of writing and his emphasis on visual and geometric intuition (supported by the inclusion of numerous illustrations) made The Fractal Geometry of Nature accessible to non-specialists. It sparked a widespread popular interest in fractals as well as contributing to chaos theory and other fields of science and mathematics.

You might be forgiven for being young and stupid, but not for not knowing how to Google and to giving this a bad rating just because you don't understand what's going on. Fractal generation programs go all the way back to the Commodore 64 and prior to that probably. A fractal (a graph of an imaginary number function) is cool because no matter how much you zoom into it, it has infinite detail. The values are color-coded and you often find interesting patterns. These types of programs have been used for years to give people a sense of the processing speed of each new computer that has come out since this was first discovered. (The same as the "Game of Life" thing, which is not really a game per se.) You may be stupid and this may be "over your head" (or you're just too young to have heard of these), but damn it, use Google!! (and wikipedia)

Great program. Demonstrates how the iTouch/iPhone is really a powerful computer. After all the reviews about it being slow, it was a lot faster than I was expecting. The only problem I had was when I hit the Info button, it launched Safari to display a website. When I returned to Mandelbrot, I lost the image I was looking at. This application brings back memories when I used to generate fractals on a 4 MIPS RISC processor machine. Now, that was SLOW.
