    London Mathematical
    Society (1961).
    The chaos theory
    • In general terms, chaos theory
    studies the sensitivity to initial
    conditions of some systems, that
    is, of those systems in which a
    small change can generate large
    consequences. Mathematically,
    these changes follow a nonlinear
    dynamic.
