An Investigation of Chaos Theory Using Supercomputing Techniques

Chaos theory is the study of dynamic systems in which small dif-ferences in the environment, can create large, unpredictable results. The classic example of chaos theory is the Butterfly effect, or the the-ory that a Butterfly flapping can effect large scale weather patterns such as tornadoes and hurricanes even from hundreds of miles away. Chaos Theory is also applicable in systems other than weather, such as the stock market and physics. While these are very complex systems, there are chaotic mathematical systems represented by fractal images which this project aims to investigate. In this project distributed computing algrithms will be used to investigate these fractals
