Title: Discrete Dynamics

Book Description: This highly interactive WorkBook is a short course on chaotic discrete dynamical systems. It develops its theme in a sequence of chapters: Dynamical Systems, Bifurcation, Conjugacy, Chaos, and Applications. In each chapter, there is a discussion of the material, and then some laboratory material developing the ideas through interactive explorations.

This book also contains a "movie" which the user can generate, that illustrates the "flip" and "tangent" bifurcations of the logistic map. At other places in the book, the reader may create cobweb diagrams using a bifurcation diagram to select parameter values off of the screen.
