Actually the same, but without optimizations and therefore better suited for teaching. First the simple escape time algorithm using NumPy and complex matrices.

▲===Advanced: Distance estimation and Mercator zoom===
It is possible to print the Mandelbrot set with a scatter plot. Exterior distance estimation is used, which provides a smooth transition of colors (see Wikipedia: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotting_algorithms_for_the_Mandelbrot_set#Exterior_distance_estimation ''Advanced plotting algorithms: Exterior distance estimation''] and Syntopia: [http://blog.hvidtfeldts.net/index.php/2011/09/distance-estimated-3d-fractals-v-the-mandelbulb-different-de-approximations/ ''Distance Estimated 3D Fractals (V): The Mandelbulb & Different DE Approximations'']).
