Written in the 1980s by one of the fathers of chaos theory, Otto E.
Roessler, the manuscript presented in this volume eventually never
got published. Almost 40 years later, it remains astonishingly at
the forefront of knowledge about chaos theory and many of the
examples discussed have never been published elsewhere. The
manuscript has now been edited by Christophe Letellier - involved
in chaos theory for almost three decades himself, as well as being
active in the history of sciences - with a minimum of changes to
the original text. Finally released for the benefit of specialists
and non-specialists alike, this book is equally interesting from
the historical and the scientific points of view: an
unconventionally modern approach to chaos theory, it can be read as
a classic introduction and short monograph as well as a collection
of original insights into advanced topics from this field.

This book is devoted to the history of chaos theory, from celestial
mechanics (three-body problem) to electronics and meteorology. Many
illustrative examples of chaotic behaviors exist in various
contexts found in nature (chemistry, astrophysics, biomedicine).
This book includes the most popular systems from chaos theory
(Lorenz, Roessler, van der Pol, Duffing, logistic map, Lozi map,
Henon map etc.) and introduces many other systems, some of them
very rarely discussed in textbooks as well as in scientific papers.
The contents are formulated with an original approach as compared
to other books on chaos theory.
