 * __Reading Log 1__**

I. Pre-reading: a. What do you know about the chaos theory? b. What do you think the text will be about? the explanation of the chaos theory. c. Write a list of five words (minimum) that you think you can find in the text you will read. chaotic, math, science, theory, physic. II. Reading: 1. Read the text and check if you can find any of the words you wrote in your list (the one you wrote in the pre-reading, letter c.) Theory, chaotic, math, science. 2. Underline all the definitions you find in the text. 2.1 "that is, they follow precise laws, but their irregular behavior can appear to be random to the casual observer."** Nop... ** 2.2 "It is now known that many systems can exhibit long-term unpredictability even in the absence of random influences. Such systems are called chaotic."** Good you're missing two definitions ** 3. In the definitions: Mark the term being defined(T), the general class words(G) and the characteristics of the terms (C). 3.1 (__mathematically deterministic____(T)__) that is, they follow __precise laws(G)__, __but their irregular behavior can appear to be random to the casual observer(C)__. 3.2 __It is now known that many systems can exhibit long-term unpredictability even in the absence of random influences(C)__. Such __systems(G)__ are called __chaotic(T)__. 4. Find the descriptions if any. "The unpredictability of chaotic systems arises due to their sensitivity to their initial conditions, such as their initial position and velocity. Two identical chaotic systems set in motion with slightly different initial conditions can quickly exhibit motions that are quite different."
 * IT ** Is a math and physic theory about a special type of movement.
 * good **

5. Find what the following referents, underlined in the sentences below, refer to in the text. Be careful some items more contain more than one referent:

a. Chaos Theory, theory describing the complex and unpredictable motion or dynamics of systems __**that**__(dynamics of systems) are sensitive to **__their initial conditions__** (dynamics of systems). b. Until recently, it was believed that if the dynamics of a system behaved unpredictably, **__it__** (dynamics of systems)  was due to random external influences c. “It may happen that small differences in the initial conditions produce very great ones in the final phenomena. A small error in __**the former(final phenomena)**__ will produce an enormous error in __ **the latter(final phenomena)** __. Prediction becomes impossible.…” d. The ramifications of Poincaré's discovery were not fully appreciated by most scientists until computers allowed **__them(most scientists)__** to easily model and visualize chaotic systems. e. He demonstrated visually that there was structure in his chaotic weather model __ **that** __, __**when plotted(weather model)**__ ...** Super ** 6. What new aspects did you discover about the chaos theory? Every one, i just knew it was a math a physic theory of movement. 7. Is the chaos theory related to real life aspects? Explain yes, because it has been used to Analise and describe some sort of human being organism, like blood, and it may even be used on economic system.
