Description

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-countingdimensions.

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.
