Before class, watch the lecture material linked below.
Post at least one question or comment on Piazza (access via Canvas or directly).  See "Check Yourself" Q1 for details.
Check yourself via the Class 18 Check Yourself on Canvas (Due by 11:59pm on Sun Apr 2nd)
In class, we'll work on related ideas: (activity will be posted)
After class, complete the homework (problems due Friday Apr 7th)
 
Video summary:
Introduction to our first 3 variable system, the Lorenz equations (watch to end).  Then a little more info about the fixed points of Lorenz 63 (~20 min).
