The Van der Pol oscillator

is a classic nonlinear system exhibiting limit cycles.

In this demo, the trajectory is computed in Rust, compiled to WebAssembly, and rendered in your browser using a <canvas>.

Try refreshing and watch how the system spirals into its limit cycle. Later we could add sliders for , initial conditions, and even show both time series and phase portrait.
