[Janis Alnis] wanted to build an analog computer circuit and bought some multiplier chips. The first attempt used apparently fake chips that were prone to overheating. He was able to get it to work ...

Chaotic circuits can arise from either computed (using Analog Computers or Digital Computers) solutions to coupled differential equations or from unstable systems/circuits. A new open-source circuit ...

I'm working on a toy Java app to display the Lorenz attractor for one or more trajectories, and so far it's working pretty well, except that I'm hardcoding the scaling factors for display. This works ...

Serendipity is a term often misused, but if anyone in modern science could lay claim to it, it was Edward Lorenz. A meteorologist by training, he founded the entire discipline of chaos theory by ...
