Dynamical Systems: R and Python

I wrote some Python code for simulating deterministic dynamical systems and used it to play around with the Logistic map from yesterday's lectures. The Python class I wrote for simulating generic dynamical systems (admittedly only those with a single state variable!) can be found here. I would have posted to the code to the wiki directly but apparently one cannot upload .py files.

Also, there are several R packages that seem to implement the algorithms from the TISEAN program that we were introduced to yesterday. The packages are RTisean, tseriesChaos, and tsDyn and can be found on CRAN.

Enjoy,

D. Pugh

PS: I am very much a newbie to Python, and any suggestions on improving my coding are much appreciated!
