"Another aspect of the deception was that it was very common for pre-20th century mathematicians to spend incredible amounts of time on hand calculations such as a logarithm table or trigonometric functions. Calculating all of the points for a Mandelbrot set is a comparable activity that would seem tedious today but would be routine for people of the time."
The fictional monk belongs to the 1200s, at which time Roman numerals were still used in Europe. (Arabic numerals only became widely known as late as the 15th century.) Also, complex numbers, required to calculate the points of the Mandelbrot set, were not invented until the 16th century. 94.253.241.74 ( talk)
