Fractal geometry : Mandelbrot set

Fractal geometry: computer graphics representation of the Mandelbrot Set, plotted from complex number coordinates. A number is described as complex when it is made up of two parts, historically called real and imaginary - imaginary numbers are derived from the square root of -1. The Mandelbrot set, named after Benoit B. Mandelbrot, is a form of fractal geometry, the mathematical study of forms having a fractional dimension. Fractal patterns demonstrate order and presence of pattern in apparently highly irregular systems. For example, fractals have been applied to model coastlines

Kolobkov was appointed Russian Minister of Sport in October 2016. His predecessor Vitaly Mutko had been implicated in the state-sponsored doping detailed in the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Independent Commission. Kolobkov himself, as Deputy Sports Minister, had been barred from Wada's Foundation Board due to Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) being declared non-compliant with the WADA code.
