Description and Table of Contents
Description
This revised and updated version of a classic introduction to deterministic chaos views the field from a physicist's point of view. This edition contains new sections on sensitive parameter dependence, fat fractals, characterization of attractors by scaling indices, the Farey tree, and the notion of global universality. The book answers basic questions such as what is deterministic chaos, how is it generated, where does it occur, and what can one learn from a chaotic signal? It also explains advanced concepts such as bifurcations, intermittency, Liapunov exponents, functional renormalization groups, and strange attractors. The book requires no background beyond that possessed by a graduate student in physics.
