Will my relationship work out? Can we predict the weather? What about the rise and fall of populations, or the formation of a memory? Can we answer these questions using math? Perhaps... Join us for a crash course on dynamical systems to see for yourself! Put simply, a dynamical system is a set of mathematical equations that describe the evolution of something over time. We will cover some basics necessary to understand and analyze dynamical systems, then we will look at some of their (in our opinion) very interesting modeling applications in real life.

Do you want a cute stressball? Do you have the cat urge to play with yarn? Do you want to CATCH ‘EM ALL?? Join us and make crocheted Pokeballs!!! We will give an introduction to crochet and guide you through the process of making a squishy sphere (with two colors!). Feel free to squish it before a test or throw it at your friends (gently). :)
