Each group is given access a project page in which they will edit and add content to  a wikipedia styled entry detailing the experiment being performed. The page should include a brief summary of the experiment and the relevant scientific questions followed by a more comprehensive explanation of the theoretical and experimental details. Pages should contain references to outside information via journal or book citations, and external web pages. Once the lab has been completed the page should be edited to include information on experimental analysis, results, and a conclusion. Sample pages from previous years serve as useful references.

Howey building. School of Physics, Georgia Tech

This is the wiki page associated with Physics 4268/6268 Nonlinear Dynamics & Chaos. Physics 4268/6268 is an undergraduate and graduate level nonlinear dynamics course taught by Professor Daniel I. Goldman in the School of Physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The TA is Ellen Liu from the Sponberg lab. Wiki is currently maintained by Ellen Liu. The course is comprised of both a classroom component and a laboratory component. In the laboratory component student led groups will perform a nonlinear dynamics experiment and report their findings. Students thus develop intuition for nonlinear dynamics both on paper and in a hands-on laboratory environment.


The goal of this wiki is for students to interactively develop and compile a library of experiments that illustrate fundamental principles of nonlinear dynamics for further educational use.


Site information

On this site you will find all content related to the student led nonlinear dynamics experiments. Announcements for the 2023 course can be found below. In addition all materials from previous years have been posted so that students may see examples of previous project wiki pages, papers, and presentations.

Each group is given access a project page in which they will edit and add content to a wikipedia styled entry detailing the experiment being performed. The page should include a brief summary of the experiment and the relevant scientific questions followed by a more comprehensive explanation of the theoretical and experimental details. Pages should contain references to outside information via journal or book citations, and external web pages. Once the lab has been completed the page should be edited to include information on experimental analysis, results, and a conclusion. Sample pages from previous years serve as useful references.
