Hello,
First let me apologize if this is not the good forum for this but it seems like it is.
Late at night I've found something really cool that I'm sure many people don't know about (or don't care). Basically, I've found a program that you can run through wine that will create crazy images using Lyapunov exponents. Now, I'm not a mathematician, but from what I understand, it's something about "calculating" chaos (beauty in chaos). The images below are simply graphics of the calculations which you can by the way fully customize.
The program can be downloaded on this page at the end (which btw explains how it works too.)

For more information about Lyapunov exponents (although I doubt it interests anyone, I haven't even read it all, the graphics just interested me) can be found below

And I've just made this one
