Chaos theory is the study of systems that are highly sensitive to its initial conditions. That is, small differences in the initial conditions can produce large variations in the long time behaviour. This is known popularly as the Butterfly effect.

====[[Combinatorics]]====
Combinatorics is the study of situations in which elements of a set or sets are combined or permuted in various ways. An example of a combinatorics problem would be "in a group of six men and four women, how many possible ways are there to choose three men and two women?" Derangements are another concept in combinatorics. A derangement is a re-ordering of a set so that no element ends up where it was originally; a derangement problem typically asks how many arrangements are possible for a given set, meeting given conditions.
