Is it possible for a deterministic system to be unpredictable? Although counter-intuitive, the answer is yes. Such systems are called "chaotic systems," which are characterized by sensitive dependence on initial conditions and long-term unpredictability. The behavior of such systems is often described using what is known as a "chaotic map." Chaotic maps finds applications in areas such as algorithm design, data analysis, and numerical simulations.
