PHYS 10433 - Freshman Seminar in Physics: Utter Chaos

Chaos Theory plays a fundamental role in many aspects of our lives: from the workings of the human heart; the prediction of the weather; the motion of planets and galaxies; to the development of personality, to name a few. The course follows the development of the "Chaos Revolution" through a study of the personalities of the major contributors and the basic models they used to develop their ideas. Two weekly class meetings are divided between a discussion of the scientists and their ideas, and a computer lab where we explore the models.
