POV-Ray - The Persistence of Vision Raytracer

American Mathematical Society :: Feature Column A tangled tale linking lattices, knots, templates, and strange attractors . . . 1.Introduction Sometimes, seemingly unrelated objects turn out to be related... We would like to present here a mathematical example, exhibiting a close connection between two dynamical systems, one coming from number theory and the other from meteorology. In 1801, Carl Friedrich Gauss published Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, his first masterpiece. In 1963, the meteorologist Edward Lorenz was studying a very simplified numerical model for the atmosphere, which led him to the amazing strange attractor popularized through the famous butterfly effect: the flapping wings of a butterfly might cause some tiny change in the state of the atmosphere which can in turn lead to hurricanes! We would like to describe a close topological connection between these two mathematical objects. This article cannot be qualified as “mathematical” since it contains no proof! Our story is organized in a very simple way. 2.The Lorenz flow
