#ATTENDANCE QUIZ FOR LECTURE 8 of Dr. Z.'s Math336 Rutgers University #Email ShaloshBEkhad@gmail.com #Subject: p8 #with an attachment called #p8NikitaJohn.txt #Right after attending the lecture, but no later than 4:00pm that day NAME: Nikita John 1. Who was the genius that coded the logistic recurrences that we talked about in class today? I'm not sure if this is correct but the most I could find on the genius who made the logistic reccurence was Robert May. He mapped logistic functions and unfortunately passed in April of last year. 2. Solve kx(1-x) = x kx - kx^2 = x kx - kx^2 - x = 0 (k-1)x - kx^2 = 0 x((k-1) - kx) = 0 x = 0, x = (k-1)/k = 1 - 1/k BROWNIE POINTS 1. What was the journal that the seminal paper on logistic maps was was published in? It was published in the Nature journal (it was called Simple mathematical modles with very complicated dynamics by Robert M. May) 2. Who is the editor of the journal? The editor of the journal is Magdalena Skipper 3. How old is she now? She is 52 now.
