This video introduces chaotic dynamical systems, which exhibit sensitive dependence on initial conditions. These systems are ubiquitous in natural and engineering systems, from turbulent fluids to the motion of objects in the solar system. Here, we discuss how to recognize chaos and how to numerically integrate these systems.
