119 – Chaos

This episode is about chaos, or more specifically non-linear dynamics and sensitive dependency on initial conditions. We talk to Harry Swinney and Michael Marder, both from UT Austin’s Center for Nonlinear Dynamics. We discuss the basics of chaos, the kinds of systems that exhibit chaotic behavior, fractals, the phase space and the strange attractor. We also discussed practical applications of chaos theory and Harry’s and Michael’s current work.

Thanks for the interesting episode,
you made me courious about the topic. You are refering to a book various times in the interview and talking about “the book” in the end again. I dont remember neither the author nor the title and dont want to go through the whole interview again. Could you please help me out?
Thanks
It is James Gleick’s “Chaos – Making a new Science”: http://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Making-Science-James-Gleick/dp/0143113453/

Thank you. Is this the German version? http://www.amazon.de/Chaos-Ordnung-Universums-Grenzbereiche-modernen/dp/3426263351/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1364137594&sr=8-4
Great interview.

Nice episode. Generally, episodes with two interview partners seem to work out particularly well.
I agree 100%. They trigger each other to add more details or different perspectives. And my job is really easy in such cases :-)
