    I've had courses in Algebra, Calculus and Trigonometry, but never really had these concepts connected to actual real-world phenomena, so it always felt very... mechanical, very transactional. If they incorporated these concepts into the teaching, I believe it would make it much more relatable during the process.

      Good point. But there are people who can actually connect those things naturally. I think this is also a skill on its own - we don't need to be thought because we see those patterns interacting each other and what have presented seems to be trivial...

      100% i always thought that we would have leaps and bounds of breakthroughs in understanding the entire structure of the universe if we taught students in school basic math... and then showed them crazy concepts like these in the hopes that one of the billions of people on the earth will see them and go "huh that reminds me of x, what if we apply it here?" rather than pushing them through advanced mathematics to get degrees
      not only that but if you look up slow motion explosions on youtube and look closely the inital explosion looks like the mandelbrot set, and you can see that as it expands there are little bits of contraction in every single explosion if you take it frame by frame
      i watched this video when it came out 3 years ago and i've been obsessed with the concept ever since

      So, basically, 'Chaos' is a misnomer now. There is clear method and math to the madness. Are we really living in a simulation :-)? Sometimes, it fascinates me to see all the advancements made in math, science. probability. stats etc with a simple thesis to put some structure/framework to quantify the world around us. It has helped us explain a few phenomenons, create products, even predict stock prices, human behavior (looking at patterns and trends etc) but the other part of me is conflicted - for life and its energies cant be modeled. It's too fascinating to be modeled out and the vastness of the universe and my spiritual beliefs are a complete anti-thesis to my scientific side. Heck, even science is ever changing - now, we are discovering qubits - particles that carry both -ve and +ve charges, which has deep implication to our view of physics and the world around us!
      While amazing, how much can humans really 'figure out' vs realizing there is something more to life that what even our more prolific attempts at math/AI/ML will ever get us to.. Or, perhaps, there isnt a higher power :-)?

    I've been studying emergent behavior since the 80's, when I first read Conway's Game of Life.
    Back then, it was treated as a nuisance, irrelevant, and annoying.
    I love watching the break into oscillation as your R-value changes .That's the same behavior as a damped spring, or feedback in an audio system.
    The transition to chaos between states makes a lot of sense.
    I love the visualization of the Mandelbrot set, that gave me the perfect starting point to understand it in another dimension. Wonderful.

      That's probably the ideal situation. If a tutor were to customize a lesson for you specifically, they'd probably aim for a difficulty level you'd find interesting, and a lecture that you could mostly follow. You'd also be very slightly outside your comfort zone, to give you room to "grow into" the lesson. It would also be a bit challenging and would leave you with a few questions to mull over, thereby slightly increasing the chance of watching another video, or of reading a book or article on a similar topic. Your comment would probably be music to the ears of a lot of educators.

    if they taught this kind of thing to kids in school im sure they would be 10x more interested in the subject. Its not something I would test them on, but just to show them how interesting and versatile math can be, I think it would get people a lot more motivated to learn.

      Unfortunately, this simply isn't true. I'm a high school math teacher, and I've shown this kind of thing to my students on numerous occasions, and the response is pretty much always the same; disinterest. If it's not on a test, they see it as an excuse to take a nap, zone out, or work on other classes' assignments.

    Feedback from UCLA A/Prof Heather Zinn Brooks:
    "At first, it seems totally crazy that increasing r would lead to cycles... if it's describing population growth, why would a bigger r cause a drop in some years? In fact, the magic is in the (1-x_n) factor of the equation, which models a carrying capacity. The idea is that populations are typically resource-limited, so growth can only be supported up to a certain point. Once you think about that, it makes sense that huge growth rates could result in "boom and bust" cycles in the population, because the population would grow faster than their resources would support."
