Abstract
Even though the preferred modeling tool to describe phenomena in nature are differential equations, time-discrete maps are useful to study in order to understand the complexity that can originate from simple iterative procedures. Maps are much easier to implement numerically than differential equations and exhibit an incredible richness of complex structures.
