Strogatz, Steven H. (Steven Henry) (Author). Teaching Company. (Added Author).

Summary:

Chaos theory," according to Dr. Steven Strogatz, Director of the Center for Applied Mathematics at Cornell University, "is the science of how things change." It describes the behavior of any system whose state evolves over time and whose behavior is sensitive to small changes in its initial conditions.
