I don't know if this is the case with every textbook (I certainly don't remember it being so), but this book made it hard to understand the formulas. It also would have been handy to have examples that made sense.... Many of the graphs and charts were outdated, and there were even several errors in the text. One was even in the first chapter. Not a book I'd recommend getting unless required to. ...             Chaos, Fractals and Dynamics: Computer Experiments in Mathematics1 review CreateSpace, 2007 FRACTAL LECTURE I was disappointed.
