Synopsis

Chaos: A Tool Kit of Dynamics Activities This book introduces and explores the mathematical phenomenon known as chaos. One of the major topics for discussion is the butterfly effect, where very small changes in the initial configuration of a system lead to great discrepancies down the road. To study this effect, youll use graphing calculators and spreadsheet software. While applicable to many mathematics courses, Chaos works especially well as a supplement to your algebra curriculum. Grades 7-12
