Devaney, Robert L. — A FIRST COURSE IN CHAOTIC DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS. Theory and Experiment.

Reading, Addison-Wesley, 1992. 1st printing 302 pp. hardcover . Serie: Studies in Nonlinearity. Written by one of the most respected mathematicians in the field, this book conveys the essential mathematical ideas in dynamical systems using a combination of theory and computer experimentation. This introductory look at dynamical systems includes investigating the rates of approach to attracting and indifferent fixed points to the discovery of Feigenbaum's constant; exploring the window structure in the orbit diagram; and understanding the periods of the bulbs in the Mandelbrot set. very good condition
