Specifically what is it that is non-linear? \item What is chaos? What are the defining characteristics of chaos? \item Present and solve on the board the problems 9.3.1 and 11.4.2 in \href{http://physics111.lib.berkeley.edu/Physics111/Reprints/NLD/Strogatz_Nonlinear_dynamics_n_chaos.pdf}{Ref. 1}. \item What is the Feigenbaum ratio? What does it mean? See the Wolfram Math World subjects for help: \href{http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FeigenbaumConstant.html}{Feigenbaum} and \href{http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Chaos.html}{Chaos}. \item What is a return map? What is a Poincar\'e map? \item What is a Fourier Transform? What does the power spectrum of a square wave look like? What is aliasing? \\[36pt] \end{enumerate} \prelabsignatures \midlab \begin{enumerate} \item On day 4 of this lab, demonstrate the Cobweb VI that you wrote, showing regions of chaos and periodicity. \\[36pt] \end{enumerate} \midlabsignatures{4} \pagebreak \checkpointsection \begin{enumerate} \item \checkp{DFT Window Units} \item \checkp{Cob Web Program} \item \checkp{Liapunov Exponent Program} \item \checkp{Henon Map} \item \checkp{Bouncing Ball and PN-Junction Circuits} \end{enumerate} \end{document}
