Exploring Chaos

This book presents elements of the theory of chaos in dynamical systems in a framework of theoretical understanding coupled with numerical and graphical experimentation. It describes the theory of fractals, focusing on the importance of scaling and ordinary differential equations.

An exciting new way of teaching chaos in dynamical systems to undergraduates, using a combination of text and computer experiments.
