MATLAB CODE:

Plot the Lorenz Attractor

Translate from English into Matlab:

Clear all variables

Set your sigma parameter to 10

Set your beta parameter to 8/3

Set your p parameter to 28

Have x start at a random value between 10 and 10

Have y start at a random value between 10 and 10

Have z start at a random value between 10 and 10

Start a for loop where t goes from 1 to 5000

Update the value of x via its equation (scaling the change by .01)

Update the value of y via its equation (scaling the change by .01)

Update the value of z via its equation (scaling the change by .01)

Save this new value of x in the tth element of allx

Save this new value of y in the tth element of ally

Save this new value of z in the tth element of allz

Bring the for loop to an end

Make a 3-D plot of allx, ally, and allz

Rotate the view of this plot

so that the azimuth and elevation show the Lorenz attractor in its full glory.
