Science of Chaos

The Science of Chaos studies how complex systems behave unpredictably despite having underlying rules. Small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes—a concept known as sensitivity to initial conditions. This means systems like weather, the stock market, or ecosystems can appear random, but they follow patterns that are highly sensitive to tiny differences. Chaos theory helps us understand such phenomena, revealing that seemingly disorderly behavior can arise from simple, deterministic rules, highlighting the intricate balance between order and unpredictability in natural and mathematical systems.
