    0.2 About The Chaos Hypertextbook

    Who? You and I.

    I wrote this book for anyone with an interest in chaos, fractals, non-linear
    dynamics, or mathematics in general. It's a moderately heavy piece of work,
    requiring a bit of mathematical knowledge, but it is definitely not aimed at
    mathematicians. My background is in physics and I use mathematics extensively
    in problem solving. Like many educated people, I also enjoy math as a diversion.
    This is the audience I am writing for.

    What? Neat Stuff.

    In the 1980s, strange new mathematical concepts burst forth from academic
    isolation to seize the attention of the public. Chaos. A fantastic notion. The study
    of the uncontainable, the unpredictable, the bizarre. Fractals. Curves and surfaces
    unlike anything ever seen in mathematics before. Surely, these topics are beyond
    the comprehension of all but the smartest, most educated, and most specialized
    geniuses. Wrong! Chaos, fractals, and the related topic of dimension are really
    not that difficult. One can devote an academic lifetime to them, of course, but the
    basic introduction presented in this book is no more difficult to understand than
    the straight line and the parabola.
    When? Right Now.
    Some of the topics discussed have roots extending back to the close of the
    Nineteenth Century. The really flashy stuff had to wait until integrated circuits
    integrated themselves into daily life. To attract the attention of the
    media-saturated you've got to have color, pattern, detail, and motion at a level


    0.2 About The Chaos Hypertextbook

    beyond line drawings on paper. You need a computer. Actually, you need a lot of
    computers and they've got to be cheap, fast, and simple to operate so that many
    people will use them. You need to live at the dawn of the Twenty-first Century. If
    you're reading this text you have the tool needed to reproduce every image,
    movie, and data set found in this book. This is mathematics in the age of the
    computer.

    Where? Nowhere and Everywhere.

    This book can never exist on paper. Although copies of the linear text have
    existed on paper in the past and will again in the future, this is really a hypertext
    document. Move your finger over the linear text, press on a diagram or word and
    you leave behind a fingerprint. Move your cursor over the hypertext, press on a
    diagram or word and you're off viewing another page.
    This book will never exist again as it does now. I intend to update and modify it
    on an irregular basis (that is, whenever I feel like it). Portions of this book were
    originally composed with Microsoft Word 5.1 running on a Macintosh LC. After
    Mosaic sparked the explosion of the World Wide Web in 1994, I knew that I
    would eventually transfer it to HTML. When the next tidal wave inundates the
    computer world, chances are this book will be washed away with it.
