Abstract

We investigate the behavior of Newton's Method for finding roots applied to complex-valued functions of complex variables. This re- quires an analysis of iteration of rational functions. The fractal nature of Newton's Method in the complex plane gives us intricate and beautiful images. By investigating select functions we attempt to generalize a pattern of behavior.
