    Dynamical Systems Create Mathematical Art and Porn

    Dynamical systems are mathematical models in which each point's movement over time is set by a fixed rule. While these systems have some practical uses, such as tracking wildlife migration patterns or measuring the flow of water through a pipe, they can also create stunningly beautiful images. The University of Liverpool has put up a gallery of dynamical systems images, like the one above, which shows a four-dimensional system expressed in two dimensions. Sometimes, dynamical systems even create math porn. More »
