These applets are designed to be a tool that will help students and teachers understand the mathematics behind the beautiful images that arise in complex dynamical systems. As this is an ongoing effort, we welcome your comments, suggestions, and ideas for further investigations along these lines. Please feel free to contact Robert L. Devaney at bob@bu.edu. We would be specifically interested in your answers to the following questions:

• Are you a student or teacher? At what level?
• What brought you to use these applets? Classroom activity? Independent project? Just plain curiosity?
• Which applets did you find most interesting? Least interesting?
• Did you have any problem understanding how to use the software?
• Did you have any problems understanding the mathematical ideas?
• Do you have any suggestions for future applets along these lines?
• In what ways do these applets bolster your or your students' mathematical ability?
