Concepts and Results in Chaotic Dynamics: A Short Course

This book is devoted to the subject commonly called Chaotic Dynamics, namely the study of complicated behavior in time of maps and flows, called dynamical systems. The theory of chaotic dynamics has a deep impact on our understanding of - ture, and we sketch here our view on this question. The strength of this theory comes from its generality, in that it is not limited to a particular equation or scientific - main. It should be viewed as a conceptual framework with which one can capture pro...
