Introduction to Discrete Dynamical Systems and Chaos, 9780471319757
Hardcover
This book introduces the reader to the fundamental principles, definitions, and results of dynamical systems and chaos. Rather than relegating chaos to the last chapter in the book, as is usually the case, this work treats chaos as an integral part of dynamical systems theory.

Summary

A timely, accessible introduction to the mathematics of chaos. The past three decades have seen dramatic developments in the theory of dynamical systems, particularly regarding the exploration of chaotic behavior. Complex patterns of even simple processes arising in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, economics, and a host of other disciplines have been investigated, explained, and utilized. Introduction to Discrete Dynamical Systems and Chaos makes these exciting and important ideas …
