Chaos and Dynamical Systems 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. Of
particular note, simple deterministic dynamical systems produce
output that appears random and for which long-term prediction is
impossible. Using little math beyond basic algebra, David Feldman
gives readers a grounded, concrete, and concise overview. In
initial chapters, Feldman introduces iterated functions and
differential equations. He then surveys the key concepts and
results to emerge from dynamical systems: chaos and the butterfly
effect, deterministic randomness, bifurcations, universality, phase
space, and strange attractors. Throughout, Feldman examines
possible scientific implications of these phenomena for the study
of complex systems, highlighting the relationships between
simplicity and complexity, order and disorder. Filling the gap
between popular accounts of dynamical systems and chaos and
textbooks aimed at physicists and mathematicians, Chaos and
Dynamical Systems will be highly useful not only to students at the
undergraduate and advanced levels, but also to researchers in the
natural, social, and biological sciences.
