Chaotic Dynamic Workbench
Roger Rollins
Ohio University
If the concept of chaos intrigues you, but the thought of complex mathematical analysis leaves you cold, Chaotic Dynamics Workbench will work for you!
CDW enables you to perform interactive numerical experiments on complicated nonlinear systems, without requiring you to set up or solve the underlying differential equations. There is a strong emphasis on graphical presentation and direct, real-time interaction because the program displays its work live - while it integrates the solution. You can vary parameters while you are watching the time development and immediately see the effects in the visual display. This capability provides a unique insight into the subtleties of chaos.
You can use CDW to investigate many of the interesting properties of deterministic behavior like the period doubling route to chaos, strange attractors, sensitive dependence, Lyapunov exponents, and the fractal dimension of strange attractors. Systems modeled by CDW include Duffing two-well, soft-spring, hard-spring, and Ueda oscillators; a driven, damped plane pendulum; the Lorenz system; and the Hénon-Heiles system.
The goal of Chaos Demonstrations is to cultivate an appreciation for the complexity and beauty of chaotic systems in both the professional scientist and interested nonscientist. Its demonstrations can be regarded on many levels, from the forefront of research in nonlinear behavior to pure art. Learning was never so captivating! 108 pp. Includes 3-D glasses.
Chaos theory has captured the public's imagination, fascinating scientists and nonscientists alike. A fashionable element of blockbusters and bestsellers, chaos saw its fifteen minutes of glory when Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park roared to life on the big screen. A few years earlier, copies of J. Gleick's Chaos: Making a New Science abounded on coffee tables and night stands. If you were a fan, you will truly appreciate Chaotic Dynamics Workbench. 78 pp.

REVIEWS- "Pleasing demonstration of the Hénon-Helies system. He also includes a routine for saving a sequence of images which can then be 'played back rapidly.' This is quite an effective way for demonstrating the folding of a strange attractor."
