#2The title is not very accurate. The article mostly talks about roots of polynomials in the field of complex numbers and shows some beautiful fractal images derived from the roots.

Plotting the roots is about as reasonable of a way to talk about what a polynomial "looks like" as any.

That's right, we just changed the submission title to the original from “What do polynomials really look like?”.

What does that even mean.

And a really interesting explanation about why roots inside the unit circle seems to land on the dragon curve!
