Chaos : A Mathematical Introduction

Here is a textbook that presents ideas about chaos in discrete time dynamics in a form where they should be accessible to anyone who has taken a first course in undergraduate calculus. Remarkably, it manages to do so without discarding a commitment to mathematical substance and rigour. The book has evolved from a very popular one-semester middle level undergraduate course and has therefore been well class-tested. It includes a number of innovative features and is the first elementary presentation of what is traditionally an advanced subject.
