Synopsis

This  unit introduces concepts, analysis and appearances of  chaos  in
dynamical  systems,  both  theoretically  and  in  applications.   The
approach  is  in  the context of modern dynamical systems  theory  and
relies   mainly  upon  geometrical  intuition  rather  than  algebraic
virtuosity.  Starting  from a classical view  of  dynamics,  the  unit
discusses strange attractors, the analysis of chaotic data series, and
the period doubling and intermittent routes to chaos.
