Summary
This second edition updates and expands the first edition. The most important change is a new chapter on control and synchronization of chaos (Chapter 10). Further additions have been made throughout the book, including new material on riddled basins of attraction, phase locking of globally coupled oscillators, fractal aspects of fluid advection by Lagrangian chaotic flows, magnetic dynamos and strange nonchaotic attractors. Also, twenty-eight new homework problems for students have been added.
