The Mandelbrot set--someone has called it the thumbprint of God--is one of the most beautiful and remarkable discoveries in the entire history of mathematics.  With Arthur C. Clarke as narrator and interviews with a number of notable mathematicians, including Benoit Mandelbrot, this program graphically illustrated how simple formulas can lead to complicated results:  it explains the set, what it means, its internal consistency, and the revolutions in thought resulting from its discovery.  Asked if the real universe goes on forever, Stephen Hawking defines its limit of smallness; the Mandelbrot set, on the other hand, may go on forever.

The graphing of linear equations with three variables provides an introductioin to the third dimension and the z-axis.  Ways of plotting ordered triples are explored and developed, and lead to the sketching of planes in three dimensional space.  A system of three equations with three variables is solved and graphed in three dimensions.  Examples of how three planes can intersect are explored.
