ABSTRACT
Now that our toolkit is in good order, we're ready to tackle some of the more important aspects of chaos. A simple approach using a stripped-down mathematical equation shows many principles of chaos. One of those important principles is this: even with the basic ingredients (a nonlinear, dynamical system that evolves in time), chaos (at least when developed from a mathematical equation) can come about only with the consent of a key player-the controlling parameter. Let's see why.
