An interactive lab to get hands on experience with maps and flows; concepts the students will be introduced to in the lectures by Liz Bradley. The students will use applets to explore map dynamics and bifurcation diagrams using the logistic map and then flow dynamics and the various graphical representations of these dynamics using a force-driven pendulum.
