Read the following text and answer the following questions:

a. What do you know about the chaos theory?
A: I know that the Chaos Theory is a theory that establish that small events, small things, can be alterate our environment in a future. On the other hand, it establish too, that our world is in a eternal Chaos and disorder.

b. What do you think the text will be about?
A: I think that the text will be about, definitions, causes and consequences related to the Chaos Theory.

c. Write a list of five words (minimum) that you think you can find in the text you will read.
A: Disorder, Variation, Unpredictably, Chaos, Random, System.

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.)
A: The words that I found were: System, Chaos, Random, Unpredictably.

2. Underline all the definitions you find in the text.

I had found three definitions in the text:

Definition 1:
__Chaos Theory__ __, theory describing the complex and unpredictable motion or dynamics of systems that are sensitive to their initial conditions.__

Definition 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.__

Definition 3:
__The unpredictability of chaotic systems arises due to their sensitivity to their initial conditions, such as their initial position and velocity.__

Definition 1:
General class words: Theory Characteristics of Term:** //"////Describing the complex and unpredictable motion or dynamics of systems that are sensitive to their initial conditions"
 * Term being defined: Chaos Theory

//

**Definition 2:**
General class words: System Characteristics of Term:** //"// //many systems can exhibit long-term unpredictability even in the absence of random influences"
 * Term being defined: Chaotic System

//

**Definition 3:**
General class words: Unpredictably Characteristics of Term: //"//** //arises due to their sensitivity to their initial conditions, such as their initial position and velocity////"//
 * Term being defined: Unpredictably of Chaotic System

Nop ! ! Pluto is the other definition
4. Find the descriptions if any.

I had found 2 Definitions:


 * Description 1:**

//"Chaotic systems are mathematically deterministic—that is, they follow precise laws, but their irregular behavior can appear to be random to the casual observer"

**Description 2:**

"Two identical chaotic systems set in motion with slightly different initial conditions can quickly exhibit motions that are quite different"//

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**__ are sensitive to **__their initial conditions__**

A: "That" and "Their initial conditions" refers to "Dynamics of systems"

b. Until recently, it was believed that if the dynamics of a system behaved unpredictably, **__it__** was due to random external influences.

A: "It" refers to "Dynamics of systems"

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**__ will produce an enormous error in __ **the latter** __. Prediction becomes impossible.…”

A: "The former" and "The latter" refers to "Phenomena"

d. The ramifications of Poincaré's discovery were not fully appreciated by most scientists until computers allowed **__them__** to easily model and visualize chaotic systems.

A: "Them" refers to "Poincaré's Discovery"

e. He demonstrated visually that there was structure in his chaotic weather model __ **that** __, __**when plotted**__ ...

"That" and "When plotted" refers to "Weather Model"

6. What new aspects did you discover about the chaos theory?
A: I discoverED that __exist's__ THERE ARE__a lot of__ MANY very simple systems that can become Chaotic a long the time. Therefore, __that__ THOSE systems becomes unpredictably by the scientist work and research.

7. Is the chaos theory related to real life aspects? Explain
A: Yes, because we live in a world where changes are continuous, and inexplicable things have their answers in the chaotic field. Things like weather, drops falling in water (That generates waves on it), are simple system that conforms our world submerged in Chaos.
