Friends,

I thought you'd like to see the solution.

Many thanks to Jake Vanderplas for his code and teachings:

https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2013/02/16/animating-the-lorentz-system-in-3d/

If you start a new IP Notebook session, run as your first entry:

%pylab

and then copy and paste the text below and run it, you should be good to go
(on a Mac, at least).

There are several parameters I've changed from his original, and I've
commented as I've changed.  The original code is at the link above.

There is one error in his code -- I've documented it below.

Again, thanks to the community, Jake, and Ben Root.
