Math Club meets this Wednesday this week from 5:00-6:00 pm in LGRT 1528, where we’ll hear a talk from graduate student John Lee called “Understanding Chaos”. Pizza and soda will be provided. Here’s John’s abstract:
Understanding Chaos.
Some questions that you might ask yourself on a daily
basis are “What is the weather going to be like tomorrow?” or “If I leave
for class at 9:00, what time do I expect to get to there?”
Humans often have this desire to predict the future, realistically or not.
In this talk, we’ll discuss briefly, easy to predict events and some not
so easy to predict events. In particular we’ll introduce ideas needed to
understand chaos and what it means to be Dynamically Chaotic with some
real world examples.
