This book introduces and explores the mathematical phenomenon known as chaos. One of the major topics is the butterfly effect, in which very small changes in the initial configuration of a system lead to great discrepancies down the road. To study this effect, you will use graphing calculators and spreadsheet software. While applicable to many mathematics courses, Chaos: A Tool Kit of Dynamics Activities works especially well as a supplement to your algebra curriculum.
