Chaos

Textbook on chaos; class-tested, elementary but rigorous, with applications and lots of pictures and exercises.

Klappentext
This text presents concepts on chaos in discrete time dynamics that are accessible to anyone who has taken a first course in undergraduate calculus. Retaining its commitment to mathematical integrity, the book, originating in a popular one-semester middle level undergraduate course, constitutes the first elementary presentation of a traditionally advanced subject.

Zusammenfassung
Here is a textbook that presents ideas about chaos in discrete time dynamics in a form where they should be accessible to anyone who has taken a first course in undergraduate calculus. Remarkably, it manages to do so without discarding a commitment to mathematical substance and rigour.
