This popular text provides an accessible introduction to chaotic dynamics and fractal geometry. It incorporates important mathematical concepts associated with these areas and backs up the definitions and results with motivation, examples, and applications. With more than enough material for a one-semester course, this book gives readers an appreciation of the beauty and diversity of applications of chaotic dynamics and fractal geometry. It shows how these subjects continue to grow within mathematics and in many other disciplines. A set of concept-oriented problems for each chapter, and new examples and exercises are included in this edition.
