This book provides the reader with an elementary introduction to
chaos and fractals, suitable for students with a background in
elementary algebra, without assuming prior coursework in calculus
or physics. It introduces the key phenomena of chaos -
aperiodicity, sensitive dependence on initial conditions,
bifurcations - via simple iterated functions. Fractals are
introduced as self-similar geometric objects and analyzed with the
self-similarity and box-counting dimensions. After a brief
discussion of power laws, subsequent chapters explore Julia Sets
and the Mandelbrot Set. The last part of the book examines
two-dimensional dynamical systems, strange attractors, cellular
automata, and chaotic differential equations.
The book is richly illustrated and includes over 200 end-of-chapter
exercises. A flexible format and a clear and succinct writing style
make it a good choice for introductory courses in chaos and
fractals.
