Talk:Periodic points of complex quadratic mappings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Instead of this: "This page will probably make a great deal more sense if you first read etc. etc." could we write a sentence or two or three in English putting this in a very general context. to give the non-mathematical reader some vague idea of what this is? The following is just hoo-hah, because this topic is way over my head, but something with this level of tone and specificity would be nice: Period Points Julia Set is one of a large variety of mathematical entities within the Mandelbrot set, important to mathematicians because it provides a link between the "chaos" aspects of that well-known form and certain types of higher algebra.

Having made this request, I realize that translating math into layman-talk is *very* hard to do. - DavidWBrooks 14:33, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC) joy
