- New Homework:
Wed 3/24 Chaos in action For next time: read about Genetics (p. 148) For 4/7: mock up your poster (as we did for "infinity"). This should be a single page, representing your poster presentation. Include a "User's Guide" for me, to the elements of your poster.
- Upcoming talks and events:
- If you went to my talk, and want to write a
"review", please give it to our chair, Steve Wilkinson. He will
let me know that you've carried it out successfully, and is
sworn to secrecy!

- for those going, the latest and greatest is this
(from Suzanne Richie, our masterful administrative assistant):
Hi Everyone, Please see the updated attachment for the KYMAA conference. It includes room assignments for students. I took the liberty of assigning rooms to those I did not hear back from. Naturally, if you want to change roommate assignments while at the conference you can do so unofficially. No need to go to the front desk to make changes.
The Hotel you will be staying at is: Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa 1800 Newtown Pike, Lexington, Kentucky 40511 Phone: 1-859-231-5100.
We have sufficient rides going to the conference. Faculty and Students, please meet in the student lounge (AS&T 3rd floor) for carpooling. Most people are leaving around 1:00 or a little after. One car may leave as early as 12:00 P.M. There will be a carpooling sheet in the lounge. Please note who you are riding with/who is in your car.
There are fewer drivers going down then there are coming back. It is important that you make arrangements to come back.
If you are listed as driving, and there is currently no notation by your name, please let me know if you can take a full car capacity coming back on Saturday. If you can not, we can make other arrangements in ensure everyone has a ride back to NKU. We just need to know, please.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

- Let's talk about the logistic map:
(our authors use this in their discussion of the Verhulst Model for Population growth). This will lead us back to fractals, as well as to the new idea of "cobwebbing". Here's a nice animation.
