Strange attractors

Strange attractors are defined by insolvable differential equations. To obtain their representation, you have to use approximation methods but you can never have their exact solution because you would need infinite precision. This imply that approximation will have a cyclic trajectory because of the finite precision we can use but the real strange attractor is effectively a fractal.

If you are getting intrigued about strange attractors and you would like to know more about the strange attractors theory, I encourage you to consult the book 'Chaos: Making a New Science' from James Gleick.
