Summary:"Encounters with Chaos and Fractals, Third Edition provides an accessible introduction to chaotic dynamics and fractal geometry. It incorporates important mathematical concepts and backs up the definitions and results with motivation, examples, and applications. The Third Edition updates this classic book for a modern audience. New applications on contemporary topics, like data science and mathematical modelling, appear throughout. Coding activities are transitioned to open-source programming languages, including Python. The text begins with examples of mathematical behavior exhibited by chaotic systems, first in one dimension and then in two and three dimensions. Focusing on fractal geometry, the authors introduce famous infinitely complicated fractals. How to obtain computer renditions of them are explained. The book concludes with Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set"--
