The kicked rotor is a prototype of a classical nonlinear system with regular and chaotic behavior. Its dynamics can be reduced to a simple and accessible two-dimensional area preserving map in phase space. Despite its simplicity, the kicked rotor is not merely a toy system but serves as a basis for recent research in quantum dynamics. We discuss the use of a computer program to simulate the kicked rotor and related systems.
