Link to Resource This online resource for the mathematical fundamentals of the new science of chaos is suitable for students at the senior high school level. We begin with a review of numbers functions and graphs and progress in such a way that the connection to "regular" math is maintained. You will learn what iteration is and see demonstrations of the iteration of some simple functions. We run models of the chaotic response of some real physical systems, we explore chaos in sets of complex numbers and we show how fractal images may be created.
