Book Description

Widely praised for its clarity and style, the previous edition of this text was the first to provide a quantitative introduction to chaos and nonlinear dynamics at the undergraduate level. This edition includes additional material on the analysis and characterization of chaotic data and applications of chaos.

From the Back Cover

This new edition of Chaotic Dynamics can be used as a text for a unit on chaos for physics and engineering students at the second- and third-year level. Such a unit would fit very well into modern physics and classical mechanics courses.
