APPARATUS
computer 206
video projector 201


DESCRIPTION
One can display animated x vs t, v vs. t, v vs. x graphs and/or a Poincare map for the following systems:  asymmetric force, cubic force, simple harmonic, pendulum, two walls, van der pol oscillator.

Change the parameters manually or select "interesting parameters" from the force menu to show chaotic behavior.
