A Primer On Chaos And Fractals, Bruce Kessler Mar 2011

A Primer On Chaos And Fractals, Bruce Kessler

Mathematics Faculty Publications

This is a prelude to a performance of the play "Arcadia" exclusively for the science and math majors of Lipscomb University. One of the main characters of the story is a mathematical genius, and has realized the power and limitations of iterations in generating mathematical models and structures, although she is living in the early 1800's. This talk gives an introduction to the ideas of chaos theory, fractals, and randomness.
