Ask HN: What's your favorite book about chaos theory? 5 points by f0e4c2f7 4y ago ↗ HN Any reccomendations for an introductory book or textbook?Podcasts or YouTube videos also welcome.
[–] zeristor 4y ago ↗ I liked “Introducing Chaos: A Graphic Guide” one of a series by Icon Books.There’s also Introducing Fractals in the same series, worth a look too.I seem to read it every few years, and it’s all new to me. No smear on the book, I just need to focus more on owning this knowledge.
[–] thanatos519 4y ago ↗ I liked 'Chaos: Making a New Science' by James Gleick but that was a long time ago.'Turbulent Mirror: An Illustrated Guide to Chaos Theory' is also excellent.
[–] sujayakar 4y ago ↗ Nonlinear Dynamic Systems and Chaos by Strogatz is amazing. It’s extraordinarily well-written and illustrated, and if you have some basic calculus and differential equations under your belt, it’s also quite accessible.
