Complex Dynamical Systems: The Mathematics Behind the Mandelbrot and Julia Sets

by Robert L. Devaney (Editor)

Lectures delivered during the AMS Short Course on [title], held at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Cincinnati in January 1994, cover a wide range of topics including the classical work of Julia and Fatou on local dynamics of analytic maps as well as recent work on the dynamics of quadratic and cubic polynomials, the geometry of Julia sets, and the structure of various parameter spaces.
