Julia setFrench mathematician Gaston Julia studied the set that bears his name in the early years of the 20th century. In general terms, a Julia set is the boundary between points in the complex number plane or the Riemann sphere (the complex number plane plus the point at infinity) that diverge to infinity and those that remain finite under repeated iteration of some mapping (function). The most famous example is the Mandelbrot set.
