Introduction to Fractals and Chaos (Jones and Bartlett Books in Mathematics)

Although the two concepts of fractals and chaos are connected, the nature of the relationship is sometimes lost in the respective details of the two theories. A principal aim of this text is to highlight this connection. It provides an introduction to both fractals and chaos and proceeds to show how certain fractals (attractors of iterated function systems) spawn chaos. Richard M. Crownover.
