This archive contains information and programs useful for nonlinear time series analysis with an emphasis on the new area of topological time series analysis and includes
More information about Nick's past (pre 1996) research and references to his work.
There is also a sample section of our book, An Experimental Approach to Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (Tufillaro/Abbott/Reilly), published by Addison-Wesley in 1992. [PDF]. [HTML Version]. Buy a complete copy at Amazon.
Nick's resume showing some of the places he has visited and people he has worked with. Some physics courses Nick taught in Walla Walla which has plenty of water. Here is an audio introduction from Nick; a jig; or reel provides a more musical hello. Nick's mug shot for crimes of fashion and picture gallery. A bike I built in 1996 after I lost my Bill Boston.
Pictures from my favorite place, Dunedin, New Zealand. Physics Department at University of Otago in Dunedin. The Otago Daily Times. My Dunedin diary [PDF] (circa 1993).
Previous Projects:
A lot can be learned about the dynamics of two-degree of freedom Hamiltonian systems by studying SAM--a Swinging Atwood's Machine (circa 1982).Bouncing ball (circa 1986).
Complex behavior in capillary ripples (shaken not stirred, circa 1988).
Our experiments on strings (like guitar strings) are reported here as well (circa 1990)
A talk outlining thoughts on the future of nonlinear dynamics (circa 1995).
Experiments on automated modeling of a chaotic pendulum and similar mechanical devices (circa 1996).
Talk overviewing potential applications of symbolic dynamics (circa 1997).
Examples of black-box (behavioral) modeling of electronic circuits.
Chaotic lock-in amplifier project (circa 2004).
