Chaos Theory, Mathematical Biology and Fractals
This session begins with a screening of Jim Al-Khalili’s acclaimed documentary “Chaos Theory: Unravelling the Universe with One Simple Equation”, which explores how simple mathematical rules can give rise to astonishingly complex and unpredictable behaviour in nature.
Following the screening, the discussion will explore the ideas introduced in the film, explaining the science of chaos theory and its relevance across disciplines. From weather systems and population dynamics to biological patterns and fractals, the conversation will seek how chaos is not merely disorder, but a hidden structure shaping living and non-living systems alike.
Designed for both curious newcomers and science enthusiasts, the session aims to make complex ideas accessible, showing how mathematics helps us understand uncertainty, complexity and the surprising order within apparent randomness.
