This document summarizes a physics colloquium presentation about strange attractors in chaotic systems. Strange attractors are fractal patterns that arise in some dynamical systems and are characterized by sensitivity to initial conditions and having a non-integer fractal dimension. The presentation outlines examples of strange attractors like the Lorenz and Hénon attractors. It discusses properties of strange attractors like attractor dimension and Lyapunov exponents. It also shows that chaos is more common at higher dimensions and in neural networks, and evaluates the aesthetic appeal of strange attractors.
