CU Boulder News & Events: APPM 3010 - Chaos in Dynamical Systems
Dynamical systems and chaos theory provide a rigorous mathematical framework to describe, analyse and predict the evolution of systems over time. These fields study how simple deterministic rules can ...
Chaos theory has revolutionised our understanding of complex dynamical systems by revealing that deterministic systems can display behaviour that is both unpredictable and exquisitely sensitive to ...
Introduces undergraduate students to chaotic dynamical systems. Topics include smooth and discrete dynamical systems, bifurcation theory, chaotic attractors, fractals, Lyapunov exponents, ...
Chaos was one of the primordial gods and, according to the common tradition, the very first being that came into existence. Best translated as “Abyss” or “Chasm,” Chaos usually assumed the form of a great and indeterminate void.
Erebus, son of Chaos and personification of darkness, was one of the first gods that populated the cosmos. Together with his sister-consort Nyx, Erebus fathered numerous children, representing various personifications and abstractions.
