chaos
you have to learn stability theory before you can learn chaos theory.
it is also interesting to note that numerical aproximation methods are also used for digital animation. so when you watch shrek, that's the legendre interpolation polynomial at work. I find that fascenating.
my memories of fifth grade are mostly marked with sitting in front of the class room during recess because I refused to do my math homework. I always lied and said I forgot it. what was I suppose to say? "sory Mr Margosian,I didnt want to waste my time last night doing the math homework you assigned." I got yelled at a lot by my parents for it...
the point is, I did my math homework last night. it was not that hard. I finished 7 problems in 3 hours, and I would have finished that last two but he did not cover that material(numerical aproximations of double integrals) yet, and I was tired. so I decided not to, and today he gave us an extension on those two problems and then solved them for us in class. yeah for math homework.
back to chaos... I got 43 out of 100 on my thermo exam. the class average was 33, and it is graded on a "natural breaks" curve. but still: ouch!
oh yeah, chaos. it seems like such a cool thing to study. calculated randomness. but it is not worth it. trust me.
