Recensione

"... The program devoted to the Julia and Mandelbrot sets is particularly exciting. Seeing the beautiful sets appearing on the screen, manipulating parameters oneself and observing the effects is infinitely more enlightening than viewing a picture in a book. ... Each chapter also provides a guide to ideas which the graduate student might wish to explore in that particular field." J E Scully, The Physicist 2000/37/6

From the reviews of the third edition:

"Readers ... can use this revised edition (2nd ed., 1998) to develop the skills necessary to apply chaos theory to emerging areas of study. ... the work’s strength lies in its blending of theory, experiment, and computer simulation. This reviewer feels that this is clearly the way to learn chaos. ... Even with the accompanying CD-ROM, the text is well illustrated and gives good explanations on using the programs (written in C++ in both Windows and Linux versions). Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty." (E. Kincanon, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), July, 2008)
