Why is it called the Newton Fractal? Did Newton create this method of finding fractals? Qwepoi 07:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

No, but because it is the fractal of the Newton-Raphson method, which was given in its now common form by Simpson. So if you like to, call it the Simpson fractal.--LutzL 08:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
