Introduction to discrete dynamical systems and chaos

About this book

"The past three decades have seen dramatic developments in the theory of dynamical systems, particularly regarding the exploration of chaotic behavior. Complex patterns of even simple processes arising in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, economics, and a host of other disciplines have been investigated, explained, and utilized."--BOOK JACKET. "Introduction to Discrete Dynamical Systems and Chaos make these exciting and important ideas accessible to students and scientists by assuming, as a background, only the standard undergraduate training in calculus and linear algebra."--BOOK JACKET.
