  • Chaos and Fractals: The Mathematics Behind the Computer Graphics
    By Robert L. Devaney, Kathleen T. Alligood

    Chaos. Chaos is a much-abused term in dynamical systems. As Phil Holmes has observed, the word has a cataclysmic ring to it, reminiscent of catastrophe theory which suffered so much hyperbole in the early seventies. As Bill Thurston has ...
