An Introduction To Dynamical Systems: Chaos:
Examining the mathematical structures of chaos and the self-similar geometric patterns (fractals) that often accompany chaotic attractors.
Studying continuous systems where small changes in initial conditions lead to vastly different outcomes, often called the "butterfly effect". CHAOS: An Introduction to Dynamical Systems
Analysis of systems where time is treated in separate steps, such as the logistic map. Examining the mathematical structures of chaos and the
