This book provides a complete understanding of chaotic dynamics in mathematics, physics, and the real world, with an explanation of why it is important and how it differs from the idea of randomness. The author draws on certain physical systems and phenomena, for example the weather forecast, a pendulumn, a coin toss, mass transit, politics, and the role of chaos in in gambling and the stock-market.
