The flapping of a butterfly's wings over Bermuda causes a rainstorm in Texas. Two sticks start side by side on the surface of a brook, only to follow divergent paths downstream. Both are examples of the phenome non of chaos, characterized by a widely sensitive dependence of the fu ture on slight changes in a system's initial conditions. This unit exp lores the mathematics of chaos, which involves the discovery of struct ure in what initially appears to be random, and imposes limits on pred ictability.
