Описание: Even though the experimental evidence for the fractal geometry of nature is circumstantial, in studies of probabilistically assembled fractal aggregates we know of nothing better than contemplating such numbers. In deterministic systems we can do much better. Chaotic dynamics is generated by interplay of locally unstable motions, and interweaving of their global stable and unstable manifolds. These features are robust and accessible in systems as noisy as slices of rat brains. Poincare, the first to understand deterministic chaos, already said as much (modulo rat brains). Once the topology of chaotic dynamics is understood, a powerful theory yields the macroscopically measurable consequences of chaotic dynamics, such as atomic spectra, transport coefficients, gas pressures. That is what we will focus on in this book. We teach you how to evaluate a determinant, take a logarithm, stuff like that. Should take 20 pages or so. Well, we fail - so far we have not found a way to traverse this material in less than a semester, or 200-300 pages of text.
