5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book. Explains concepts clearly.
I went from knowing absolutlely nothing about dynamical systems to being able to look at a point on the Mandelbrot Set and visualize what the corresponding Julia Set looks like. Ever wonder why weather cannot be predicted accurately?? Read this book...

There Are Better Choices
This is a fine text, and I was able to follow it fairly easily. However, it is rather dated (1992) and there have been improvements in the subject in several areas. I found Steven Strogatz's "Nonlinear Dynamics And Chaos" (2001) a significantly better book for both content and readability.

This text is a great begginners guide to chaotic systems, it provides very clear explanations and proofs as well as some examples to help you along.

This review is from: A First Course In Chaotic Dynamical Systems: Theory And Experiment (Studies in Nonlinearity) (Hardcover)
The content of the book is great, only a little short and condensed. I wish more examples were available. Also I wish sometimes author would approach a topic from different angles, instead of leaving us behind after plowing through something...
Very poor print quality and layout, the colored pages are FALLING OUT from the book. Definitions are not always apparent and it is difficult to discern important parts in the book. Graphs are "grayscale" and are also of very poor quality. I guess this is all due to the book being old, and it is printed on-demand, as shows in the font/typeface - which looks like it's been "xeroxed". |
