An Introduction to Chaos Theory with the Lorenz Attractor
Loading...
Uploaded by MathemagicalProofs on Dec 2, 2011
The Lorenz Attractor is likely the most commonly used example of Chaos Theory. This video introduces the topics and their applications (weather prediction, in particular) to those without a math-intensive background.
This video was made for MATH 442, Mathematical Modeling, at Texas A&M University. The class was taught by Dr Jean Marie Linhart.
Thanks to:
The Cloud Appreciation Society for pictures.
Youtube user Khyar for the double pendulum excerpt.
And various others for pictures scavenged from the depths of the internet.
All plotting done with MATLAB.
Music:
Rock you like a hurricane - Scorpions
Winter: Allegro non Molto - Antonio Vivaldi
Butterflies and Hurricanes (Instrumental) - Muse

I was listening to Muse right before watching this video and put it on pause. At the 4:40 point I thought it somehow started playing again (different song).
Cool video
