A MULTIMEDIA INTRODUCTION TO CHAOS

摘要: Abstract With the advent of truly fast, but relatively inexpensive, personal computers, one can easily perform a desktop numerical experiment for some simplest chaotic dynamical systems, and view animated dynamics “on-the-fly”. When incorporated with sound effects, learning basic ideas behind seemingly complex behavior this way be an enjoyable experience. Here, we will give poor man's version how multimedia aid in one's understanding exploding field. Along way, also brief indication on possible connection between KAM theorem phyllotaxis, leaf arrangement, botany.
