The Logistic Map and Chaos
Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.
This presentation provides a spreadsheet, which models a population of mice, and allows students to vary the input and thus change the behaviour of the model. There are some surprising discoveries to be made when the results are analysed.
The activity is designed to explore aspects of the subject which may not normally be encountered, to encourage new ways to approach a problem mathematically and to broaden the range of tools that an A Level mathematician can call upon.
