1st Annual UMR Undergraduate Research Symposium (1991: Apr., Rolla, MO)

Abstract

Undoubtedly one of the most exciting frontiers in physics today is the study of nonlinear systems, more popularly called chaos. Chaos is the key to many time-dependent processes in as varied fields as meteorology (such as weather modeling), mechanics (the three-body problem in gravitational fields), and economics (prediction of trends in the stock market).
