Complex Dynamics: Twenty-Five Years after the Appearance of the Mandelbrot Set

These proceedings from the joint summer conference of June 2004 describe the research inspired by computer-generated images illustrating properties of iterations of quadratic maps. The papers from that conference include the indecomposable continua and Julia sets of rational maps, The Hénon family, the complex horseshoe locus and real parameter space, Baby Mandelbrot sets, accumulation points of iterated function systems, Siegel disks with boundaries that have only two complementary domains, non-uniform porosity for a subset of some Julia sets, and a summary of open problems.
