IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD: TO THE HISTORY OF OCCURRENCE OF CHAOTIC DYNAMICS
This text is the introductory lecture before a film screening «The Secret Life of Chaos» (BBC, 2010) for the broad audience in the program of the festival organized by «Park of the science Lobachevsky Lab» of the NNGU in 2015. It is briefly discussed the previous paradigm on the description and development of dynamical processes whose mathematical models are differential equations, some probabilistic phenomena, the introduction to the topic of chaotic dynamics. It is shown that the contemporary advances in chaotic dynamic were prepared by the preceding development of such branches of mathematics as theory of functions, set theory, topology, qualitative theory of differential equations.
