    This document discusses a 1955 study by Fermi, Pasta, and Ulam on nonlinear and non-harmonic problems. The study used early digital computers to examine the redistribution of energy in a system of linked oscillators. Contrary to expectations, the energy did not spread evenly among all available modes of the system, but recurred periodically to the original low modes that were initially excited. This showed the complexity of nonlinear systems and sparked further research.
