Chaos Theory, Dynamic Systems, And Fractal Geometry
The Non-Frames Version Of This Page.
Welcome to the Chaos Theory, Dynamic Systems, And Fractal Geometry web page! This is an
educational web page whose purpose is to make learning many of the complicated theories and
ideas behind the theory of chaos, dynamic systems, and fractal geometry easier and more fun.
It approaches problems from many different angles and gives users the feel of having their
own private tutor.
To navigate your way around this site, use the menu in the left frame.
Clicking on the any of the text or its ajoining sphere will lead to what the
tag suggests. If your browser supports
Sun Microsystems' Java,
when you move the mouse over the tag's ajoining sphere, a menu with references to indivual sections of
the document will apear, allowing quick access to more specific topics. To return to this page
at any time, select Main Page from the menu. Please note that
just because a particular topic is not listed on the menu, does not mean
that it is not covered in that page. There are far too many topics
covered in each page to list in one menu. It is strongly encouraged that
you begin reading from the top of the page and read through untill the
end. For more information on the indivual items of the menu, please keep
reading.
The second item on the menu,
chaos theory,
leads to a page dealing with the theory of chaos and dynamic systems. It also deals with many
of the principles behind chaos theory, such as
sensitive dependance.
The main topic of this page is the idea that simple dynamic processes can behave very complex and in an
almost random fashion.
Fractal geometry,
the third item on the menu, leads to a page covering fractals and the geometry of fractals; to
include their
graphical representation
and their relevance to
everyday life.
The complex mathematical meaning behind fractals will also be examined and explained in a way such
that most anyone can understand.
The fourth item on the menu leads to a comprehensive
glossary of terms and phrases
relating to chaos theory, dynamic systems, and fractal geometry. It is a buildable glossary, which
means that if you have another word which you think would be helpful or if you would like to build
upon the definition of an already present word, you can
add a word to it.
The last items on menu are the
appendices.
The first appendix, entitled documentation, has a list of several supplementary documents which
have been written to aid you on your journey through chaos theory, dynamic systems, and fractal
geometry. The second appendix is a comprehensive list of all of the source code used in this
site.
