[Maths Class Notes] on Chaos Theory Pdf for Exam

Chaos is defined as the science of surprises, of the nonlinear as well as of the unpredictable. 

Chaos theory teaches us to expect the unexpected. While we already know that most traditional science deals with supposedly predictable phenomena let’s take for example like gravity, electricity, or chemical reactions. But Chaos Theory is known for dealing with nonlinear things that are effectively impossible to predict or that are impossible to control, For example like turbulence, weather, the stock market, our brain states, etc. 

These mentioned above phenomena are often described by fractal mathematics, which is a concept that captures the infinite complexity of nature. 

In nature, there are many objects that exhibit fractal properties, including landscapes, clouds, trees, organs, rivers, snowflakes, etc, and many of the systems in which we live also exhibit complex chaotic behavior. 

We get new insight, power, and wisdom on recognizing the chaotic, fractal nature of our world can give us. For example, by understanding the complex, chaotic dynamics of the atmosphere, we can say that a balloon pilot can “steer” a balloon to the chosen location or place.
