Title | Chaos and fractals: An Elementary Introduction |
Author(s) | David P. Feldman |
Publication | Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2012. |
Description | xxi, 408p. |
Abstract Note | his 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-counting dimensions. 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. |

Title | Chaos: The science of predictable random motion |
Author(s) | Richard Kautz |
Publication | Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2011. |
Description | xiii, 309p. : With CD-ROM |
Abstract Note | Based on only elementary mathematics, this engaging account of chaos bridges the gap between introductions for the layman and college - level texts. It develops the science of dynamcis in terms of small time steps, describes the phenomenon of chaos through simple examples, and concludes with a close look at a homoclinic tangle, the mathematical monster at the heart of chaos. The presentation is enhanced by many figures, animations of chaotic motion and biographical sketches of the pioneers of dynamics and chaos theory. To ensure accessibility to motivated high school students, care has been taken to explain advanced mathematical concepts simply, including exponentials and logarithms, probability, correlation, frequency analysis, fractals, and transfinite numbers. These tools help to resolve the intriguing paradox of motion that is predictable and yet random, while the final chapter explores the various ways chaos theory has been put to practical use. |
