This volume is aimed at the student who wants to know what the excitement of chaos is all about and how it might be applied in a practical setting. With only the necessary mathematics, it treats the broad range of topics current in non-linear dynamics today.
This text provides an introduction to the exciting new developments in chaos and related topics in nonlinear dynamics, including the detection and quantification of chaos in experimental data, fractals, and complex systems. Most of the important elementar
