Chaos Theory - Introduction
Since its discovery just 50 years ago, chaos theory has revolutionized several branches of science with its astonishing properties and paradoxical conclusions. Or at least, that's what popular culture says.
In this course, we'll delve into the world of chaos through its most interesting phenomena, such as the butterfly effect and unpredictable systems, blending experiments from the physical world with some very visual and easy-to-understand mathematical concepts. The goal is that, by the end of the course, you'll have a clear understanding of what chaos theory is—and isn't—what implications it has for the world of physics and biology, and what limits it imposes on our understanding of the universe.
