摘要:"This textbook is a basic introduction to chaos. It is written primarily for advanced undergraduate students in science but postgraduate students and researchers in mathematics, physics and other areas of science will also find the book useful. The authors concentrate on explaining the fundamentals of the subject by studying examples from one-dimensional maps and simple differential equations."--BOOK JACKET.
