In this paper, we give some properties of the dynamics of quadratic rational maps. Using the properties we present the algorithm for drawing the Julia sets of the quadratic rational maps. We illustrate that they are fractals by computer graphics.

We present some properties characterizing the Mandelbrot set of quadratic rational maps. Any quadratic rational map is conjugate to either $z^2+c$ or ${\lambda}(z+1/z)+b$. For ${\mid}{\lambda}{\mid}=1$, we find the figure of the Mandelbrot set $M_{\lambda}$, the set of parameters b for which the Julia set of ${\lambda}(z+1/z)+b$ is connected. It is seen to be the whole complex plane if ${\lambda}{\neq}1$, but it is intricate fractal if ${\lambda}=1$. This supplements the work already investigated for the case ${\mid}{\lambda}{\mid}>1$.
