Allgood and Yorke define chaos as a trajectory that is exponentially unstable and neither periodic or asymptotically periodic. That is‚ it oscillates irregularly without settling down. They have unknowingly described the condition of my apartment. The "clean" spot where the dog in an amazing feat of gastro-intestinal feebleness aborted a slice of ham‚ has been growing darker over the past few weeks (despite the promises of a name brand rug cleaner) and has begun to emit a strong gravitational pull

Mathematical model A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modelling (also writtenmodeling). Mathematical models are used not only in the natural sciences (such as physics‚ biology‚ earth science‚ meteorology) and engineering disciplines (e.g. computer science‚artificial intelligence)‚ but also in the social sciences (such as economics‚ psychology‚ sociology and political science); physicists

When you hear the term “Butterfly Effect” either a 2004 film starring Ashton Kutcher or pretty insects with wings is what likely comes to mind. However‚ the term “Butterfly Effect” is a popular hypothetical theory‚ which illustrates how small initial circumstances‚ may lead to large unforeseen consequences over time. Now‚ there’s an author‚ his name is Andy Andrews‚ he’s written a book on the topic. It’s fantastic and I absolutely suggest you read it. Although‚ a man named Edward Lorenz originally

Mathematical modeling is commonly used to predict the behavior of phenomena in the environment. Basically‚ it involves analyzing a set of points from given data by plotting them‚ finding a line of "best fit" through these points‚ and then using the resulting graph to evaluate any given point. Models are useful in hypothesizing the future behavior of populations‚ investments‚ businesses‚ and many other things that are characterized by fluctuations. A mathematical model usually describes a

Philosophy Ego Theory and Bundle Theory Derek Parfit’s views on personal identity and the Ego and Bundle Theory are all summarized in his article “Divided Minds and the Nature of Persons”. In his article‚ Parfit explains the distinction between Ego theory and Bundle theory and provides several arguments against Ego Theory. Although it proves to be very difficult to believe the Bundle Theory‚ Parfit’s critique is convincing and well thought out. In order to defend the Bundle Theory of personal identity

1. What is a scientific theory? Please cite a definition you like. As Watson stated in "The Value of Theories"‚ a scientific theory is a systematic explanation that unifies various observed phenomena and facts. Based on observations we make‚ science operates under theories which are constantly revised and checked by experiment. A scientific theory also possesses many vital qualities for true understanding. 2. What is the difference between a scientific theory and common sense ideas about the same

A kind of chaos. Thus‚ if the world is becoming a place which is forever changing‚ and organisations find that they cannot plan for the long run‚ or predict the market forces which they will inevitably ’ be subjected to‚ then can management theory provide guidance and inspiration which will help them survive this chaos? Well‚ the true objective is to take the chaos as given and learn to thrive on it. The winners of tomorrow will deal proactively with chaos‚ will look at the chaos per se as

Art Appreciation 1101 Catherine Park Night Street Chaos (pg. 277) Toots Zynsky used various elements in her artwork named “Night Street Chaos.” The outline‚ exterior of the object‚ is obvious upon first look of the sculpture. Mass is also an obvious element that can be noticed since the sculpture is 3 dimensional. Although the sculpture already has mass‚ the value provides and enhanced illusion. Night Street Chaos incorporates a vivid blend of primary‚ secondary‚ and intermediate colors. Zynsky’s
