But there were some areas that just couldn't be explained,
like weather patterns, ocean currents, or the actions of cells.
There were too many things going on to keep track of with linear
equations. It almost seemed as if they were random, or "chaotic".
Chaos theory is a way to mathematically describe and
predict these types of events. This type of math would not be possible
without computers, because the calculations are so huge and tedious.
But computers are perfect for that task.
