illiMath2006: an REU of
11 June - 4 August
Geometrical Visualization in Virtual Environments
Student Principle Investigator: Christopher Rainey
Projects of illiMath2006 Research Experience for Undegraduates, Mathematics Department, University of Illinois at Urbana (UIUC), directed by Prof. George Francis, are the work of the student principal investigator (SPI) and their assiated mentor (AM) and/or corresponding mentor (CM). Other student investigators (SI) assist.

This project greatly expands upon several previous Syzygy RTICA where
users view and interact with a series of chaotic and non-chaotic 3D dynamical
systems in the CUBE. These include the Lorenz, Roessler, Rainey, Rabinovich-Frabrikant, and 2D non-linear systems such as the Lienard-VanderPol. As a DSG-Python
application, the user can modify the code by inserting new dynamical
systems, and investigate these collaboratively with Myriad.
This project builds upon previous applications written by Stan Blank,
Ben Schaeffer, and Kyle Wilkinson.
