Book Overview
A First Course in Chaotic Dynamical Systems: Theory and Experiment is the first book to introduce modern topics in dynamical systems at the undergraduate level. Accessible to readers with only a background in calculus, the book integrates both theory and computer experiments into its coverage of contemporary ideas in dynamics. It is designed as a gradual introduction to the basic mathematical ideas behind such topics as chaos, fractals, Newton's method, symbolic dynamics, the Julia set, and the Mandelbrot set, and includes biographies of some of the leading researchers in the field of dynamical systems. Mathematical and computer experiments are integrated throughout the text to help illustrate the meaning of the theorems presented. Chaotic Dynamical Systems Software, Labs 1-6 is a supplementary laboratory software package, available separately, that allows a more intuitive understanding of the mathematics behind dynamical systems theory. Combined with A First Course in Chaotic Dynamical Systems , it leads to a rich understanding of this emerging field.

This text is a great begginners guide to chaotic systems, it provides very clear explanations and proofs as well as some examples to help you along.
Excellent book. Explains concepts clearly.

I went from knowing absolutlely nothing about dynamical systems to being able to look at a point on the Mandelbrot Set and visualize what the corresponding Julia Set looks like. Ever wonder why weather cannot be predicted accurately?? Read this book...
