Abstract
In this chapter we shall discuss a number of complicated phenomena which are described as “chaotic”, “showing strange attraction” or “sensitive dependence on initial conditions” etc. These phenomena play a part in iterated maps, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and, as a number of scientists are believing, in the phenomenon of turbulence in fluid mechanics.
