CMSC 27900
Chaos, Complexity, and Computers (MATH 29200, PHYS 25100)Prerequisites: One year of calculus, two quarters of physics at any level, and PHYS 25000 or prior programming experience.
Catalog Description: This course presents the mathematical bases for the complex, scale-independent behavior seen in chaotic dynamics and fractal patterns. It illustrates these principles from physical and biological phenomena. It explores these behaviors concretely using extensive computer simulation exercises, thus developing simulation and data analysis skills. Winter.
