Chaos Theory

Chaos: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
$11.95
I am a physicist with a PhD who likes reading almost anything on physics, astronomy, and mathematics. These "...very short introductions" are concise, entertaining, and for the most part instructive. I recommend these books to researchers in these fields as a good review and to those seeking a more detailed educational experience than most popularizations sans equations.

Chaos: Making a New Science
$20.00
Chaos: Making a New Science is intrinsically a bunch of short essays based on the author's research into a number of Chaos experiments and the scientists performing them. One after another with nothing tying them into some sort of progression or main point. Still, many of the stories were very interesting and thought provoking. Some even included insightful tidbits about the inspirations or influences that guided the scientists. But overall it was a tedious read with no real conclusion other than this theory can mathematically describe many seemingly random events.

Chaos Theory: Splinter Cell 3 Soundtrack

3 1/2

Tobin's exquisite video-game offering might feel melodically fragmented even compared to his normally choppy electronic flair, but detached from any button-pushing the disc still works surprisingly well and holds up to the detailed and dense production he is known for.

Chaos Theory Tamed
$34.95
I would have to echo those who say this is an outstanding book. Maybe because the author is not a mathematician or engineer he doesn't overwhelm you with abstract mathematics and concepts and expect you to know these as a matter of course.

He also doesn't assume your an idiot so the material is not over simplified, it's not a casual read but if you're interested in the subject and have the motivation the book is definitely accessible.

He slips into difficult topics like say Fourier Analysis in such a way as to really impart a level of understanding of the process again without oversimplifying nor overwhelming.

A first rate author and an outstanding instructor I highly recommend this book.
