Dynamical system
A dynamical system is something that changes over time like a moving ball. If you throw the ball into the air, it will go up, then come down and then roll back and forth on the ground. The ball is a dynamical system - it keeps changing its position over time, and mathematicians may try to figure out what patterns it follows.
