A Unique Educational & Career Opportunity with Stephen Wolfram

A unique opportunity to do original research at the frontiers of science, the Wolfram Science Summer School helps about 40 students from a diverse range of scientific backgrounds learn about Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science (NKS) and apply it to their fields of interest. Most of these students are advanced undergraduates and early graduate students, but those in different circumstances are considered. We are looking for students who want to move their careers in the NKS direction. Read more »

Project Title

Pattern Based Approach to Ordinary Differential Equations

Project

The traditional approaches to ordinary differential equations (ODE) are based on the study of phase spaces, poincaré sections, the Lyapunov exponent, and similar concepts. Here we consider new pattern-based methods to investigate ODEs. In particular, we will use wavelets, digits representations, and entropy measures to study subtle transit and chaotic regimes of ODEs.
