• Lorenz attractor in 3D
  • Lorenz attractor C source code generates values in 3 dimensional coordinate.
  • Students can generate infinite patterns of values by changing 3 parameters in 3 non-linear differential equations.
  • The values can be plotted with GNUplot like this picture.
  • There is the source code of Lorenz attractor for second life, but it includes numbers of bugs.
• Excel for statistical computation
• Yahoo! Answers: I'm looking for a good weather prediction software
  • e.g. Looping image of temperature, pressure, precipitation
