Deterministic chaos is a theory and a set of systems that has revolutionized, and continues to revolutionize, established scientific thought by replacing linear and reductionist models with a nonlinear perspective that recognizes how simple rules can lead to complex and unpredictable behaviors. Chaos theory is not limited to mathematics; it is a fundamental concept encountered in many areas of life, from electrical activity in the heart (ECG signals) to electrical activity in the brain (EEG signals), from behaviors in electrical circuits to double pendulums that appear simple but exhibit chaotic motion. Chaos theory provides significant contributions to various disciplines, from understanding self-organization in neural networks in neuroscience to aiding arrhythmia prediction in medicine, and calculating population cycles in earth sciences. This study examines the history of chaos theory and the connection of nonlinear systems with different disciplines.
