SynopsisIt has been called the third great revolution of 20th century physics after relativity and quantum theory. But how can something called chaos theory help you understand an orderly world? What practical things might it be good for? What is chaos theory? Chaos theory is the science of how things change. It describes the behavior of any system whose state evolves over time and whose behavior is sensitive to small changes in its initial conditions.
This is a mathematics course. By "entertaining" I mean really holds my attention. By "characters" I mean the lecturer, who has a wonderful style of presentation. He's actually a very famous guy, and one of his strongest interests at this point in his life/career is finding better ways to teach math in ways that draw in non-math types as well as those already comfortable with the subject.
