Peer reviewedNemirovsky, Ricardo; Tinker, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1993
Describes software, hardware, and devices that were designed to provide students with an environment to experiment with basic ideas of mechanics, including nonlinear dynamics. Examines the behavior of a Lorenzian water wheel by comparing experimental data with theoretical results obtained from computer-based sensors. (MDH)
Descriptors: Chaos Theory, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Simulation, Computer Software
Peer reviewedDe Jong, Marvin L. – Physics Teacher, 1992
Studies the simple dynamical system of the pendulum and the chaotic behavior that occurs when the pendulum is both damped and driven. Provides an algorithm and BASIC program for the numerical solution to the differential equations encountered in the discussion. (MDH)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Chaos Theory, Computer Assisted Instruction, Differential Equations
Peer reviewedBarton, Ray – Mathematics Teacher, 1990
Presented is an educational game called "The Chaos Game" which produces complicated fractal images. Two basic computer programs are included. The production of fractal images by the Sierpinski gasket and the Chaos Game programs is discussed. (CW)
