{"product_id":"chaos-and-fractals","title":"Chaos and Fractals","description":"This book provides the reader with an elementary introduction to chaos and fractals, suitable for students with a background in elementary algebra, without assuming prior coursework in calculus or physics. It introduces the key phenomena of chaos - aperiodicity, sensitive dependence on initial conditions, bifurcations - via simple iterated functions. Fractals are introduced as self-similar geometric objects and analyzed with the self-similarity and box-counting dimensions. After a brief discussion of power laws, subsequent chapters explore Julia Sets and the Mandelbrot Set. The last part of the book examines two-dimensional dynamical systems, strange attractors, cellular automata, and chaotic differential equations.\n\nThe book is richly illustrated and includes over 200 end-of-chapter exercises. A flexible format and a clear and succinct writing style make it a good choice for introductory courses in chaos and fractals.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246159843672,"sku":"9780199566440","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780199566440_5f7eebe6-bf76-4c3f-b77c-7e4c1c01c6dc.jpg?v=1766043930","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/chaos-and-fractals","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
