I'm a mathematician based at Loughborough University. In my videos I try to show some of the fascinating maths in the world around us.
Iterations part 2: period three implies chaos
In this second part, we try to understand why chaos occurs. We outline an argument that the existence of a 3-periodic solutions implies that the system in question is chaotic.
The argument is adapted from the paper mentioned in the video:
Li, Tien-Yien, and James A. Yorke. "Period three implies chaos." The theory of chaotic attractors (2004): 77-84. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-0-387-21830-4_6
More on the Sharkovsky ordering can be found here:

Two good books on nonlinear and chaotic dynamics are
"Chaos" by James Gleick - a popular science book covering the history of chaos theory as a mathematical discipline
"Nonlinear dynamics and Chaos"...

Iterations part 1: modelling a population of butterflies
Просмотров 3982 месяца назад
Iteration means repeated application of a function. Iterating a function known as the "logistic map" gives a simple model to simulate population dynamics. In this video we introduce some key concepts and lay the groundwork for part 2, in which we take a deeper dive into one aspect of chaotic dynamics. A few videos discussing the bifurcation diagram shown at the end: Veritasium: ruclips.net/vide...
The shapes of waves of ships and ducks
Просмотров 36 тыс.2 года назад
The wake of a duck, a ship, or anything in between, all have the same shape. To explain why, we need to discover a few things about the mathematics of water waves. This video is submitted to the 2022 Summer of Math Exposition #SoME2 The description of ship waves is a common topic in textbooks on hydrodynamics, for example [James Lighthill. Waves in Fluids. Cambridge University Press, 1978] The ...

A visual explanation of the mathematics at the end of the rainbow. I learned this explanation from V.I. Arnold's book "Mathematical Understanding of Nature", where you can also find the calculations hidden behind these animations and graphs. bookstore.ams.org/mbk-85/ The rainbow photo is by Kodyak Tisch on flickr. flickr.com/photos/91281949@N05/8317396744 #SoME1
