Investigates what can go wrong when dynamical systems are modelled with a computer. Number theoretic techniques were used to detail the effects "discretization" errors caused by computer round-off had on characteristics of a system. In particular, a relationship was established between the occurrence of long cycles in a system and the classical result known as Artin's conjecture. Algorithms were then developed which eliminated discretization errors.
