On the lecture: ”When chaos theory meets

”The mathematics of low dimensional chaos theory is now over 100 years old. The subject got a popularity boost about 30 years ago when personal computers became widely available. While the field has lost some of its fancy, it has inspired and influenced other disciplines both in mathematics and beyond. This took place not only because of the beautiful results which were achieved but also because it became a prototype where a fresh point of view invigorated a mathematical field, excited the general public and inspired other scientific areas. In this highly illustrated and accessible talk, we take a pedestrian walk through some examples and see how the subject has inspired other disciplines. We will see examples from mathematical fields like geometry or number theory, wave motion physics, celestial dynamics in astronomy and mathematical areas like population dynamics in sociology, financial predictions in economics, music, visual art or film. The story is an example on how crossing scientific boundaries has boosted the creativity on both sides.”
