From Stability to Chaos

From Stability to Chaos#

A Hands-On Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics

Harmen J. Jonker and Maarten van Reeuwijk

A hands-on tour from simple one-dimensional maps to strange attractors and fractal geometry. Built around the idea of learning by doing, it develops the theory alongside concrete computations in Maple — with a weekly exercise for every topic — so that each idea can be explored, visualised and experimented with directly.
