The author presents an accessible, clear introduction to dynamical systems and chaos theory, important and exciting areas that have shaped many scientific fields. While the rules governing dynamical systems are well-specified and simple, the behavior of many dynamical systems is remarkably complex.
"Feldman succeeds in introducing the reader to the world of dynamic systems and the, almost mythical, chaos that they can produce."
---Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society"[A] gentle and loving introduction to dynamical systems. . . .
Chaos and Dynamical Systems is a book for everyone from the layman to the expert."
