    Introduction Oscillations are repetitive variations, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. In physics, oscillations include the movements of a pendulum and the vibrations of atoms. Simple Harmonic Motion Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a type of oscillatory motion in…

    Introduction Chaos Theory is a branch of mathematics that studies the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, a phenomenon generally known as the butterfly effect. This sensitivity makes long-term prediction impossible in general, hence the term ‘chaos’. The above plot from Desmos shows the time-evolution of population size Y with…
