While Steven H. Strogatz’s masterpiece “Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos” was written in a way to make dynamical system to be understandable for non-mathematicians, this book is intended for little bit more mathematically mature audience. Celebrated mathematician Shlomo Sternberg, a pioneer in the field of dynamical systems, created this modern one-semester introduction to the subject for his classes at Harvard University. Its wide-ranging treatment covers one-dimensional dynamics, differential equations, random walks, iterated function systems, symbolic dynamics, and Markov chains.

“Even though there are many dynamical systems books on the market, this book is bound to become a classic. The theory is explained with attractive stories illustrating the theory of dynamical systems, such as the Newton method, the Feigenbaum renormalization picture, fractal geometry, the Perron-Frobenius mechanism, and Google PageRank.” — Oliver Knill, PhD, Preceptor of Mathematics, Harvard University
