This is why Python is the "web language" of choice for people doing any kind of scientific or numerical programming. Libraries really make a language for certain applications, and Python seems to have an extremely broad range.

I think that would be the Lorenz attractor, named after Edward Lorenz.

That's brilliant - I just learned about this in class a few weeks ago where we saw 2d simulations. Thanks for posting.
