![]() I felt that I had discovered something great. ![]() ![]() I stayed up late and finally created my first complex fractal, but it was distorted and looked like cobwebs. It wasn’t until 2001 that I finally found a website that explained it in a way I could understand. So I went around my college math department asking professors for help, but many of them didn’t even know what a fractal was. I was fascinated by it and I wanted to learn how to create it, but I couldn’t understand the math. Paul Nylander: The first time I saw a picture of the Mandelbrot set fractal was at a bookstore in 1998. On my spare time, I enjoy math, science, and art. I have also worked as a C++ and C# software developer. Now I am working on surgical devices, which I must say is the best job I’ve ever had. My engineering experiences have been somewhat random ranging from plutonium detectors to Disneyland rides. My education is in mechanical engineering and physics. Paul Nylander: Hi, my name is Paul Nylander. MM: Please speak to your background, education, family life and whatever you want the public to know about you. It has been an honor and a pleasure to interview Paul Nylander who played a significant role in the discovery of the 3D Mandelbulb. Please visit his website to learn much more about the process and coding that went into the discovery of not only the first 3D Mandelbulb but the dozens of other programs he used during the process:
