Dynamical Systems

Breadth of scope is unique

Author is a widely-known and successful textbook author

Unlike many recent textbooks on chaotic systems that have superficial treatment, this book provides explanations of the deep underlying mathematical ideas

No technical proofs, but an introduction to the whole field that is based on the specific analysis of carefully selected examples

Includes a section on cellular automata
