Overview
For centuries, scientists ignored or avoided chaotic, or nonlinear, data. Real but messy results were often ascribed to experimental error or "noise." In the 1...

Chaos Theory (Meteorological Aspects)
Chaos theory attempts to identify, describe, and quantify order in apparently unpredictable and/or highly complex systems (i.e., atmospheric dynamics, weather sys...

Chaos Theory
Chaos theory is the study of non-linear dynamic systems, that is, systems of activities (weather, turbulence in fluids, the stock market) that cannot be visualized in a graph with a strai...

Nonlinear Dynamics
Nonlinear dynamics describes systems in which the forces acting on those systems do not increase linearly with quantities such as position, mass or velocity. It also describes syste...

Chaos Theory
Chaos theory is a scientific principle describing the unpredictability of systems. Most fully explored and recognized during the mid-to-late 1980s, its premise is that systems sometimes r...

Chaos Theory
A physical system has chaotic dynamics, according to the dictionary, if its behavior depends sensitively on its initial conditions, that is, if systems of the same type starting out with ...
