TITLE: Book on Chaos Theory
QUESTION [8 upvotes]: Please suggest some good chaos theory as general read, which can be enjoyed while on beach has patterns.
I am a electrical Eng Post Graduate in communication theory and signal processing so can understand complex math.

REPLY [4 votes]: Here are my suggestions:

Stephen Strogatz Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
Online SOOC chaosbook.org
Edward Ott Chaos in Dynamical Systems

If you know nothing about nonlinear dynamics, then Strogatz is the best place to start. If you want to jump straight into chaos, then go with Edward Ott's book. I recently discovered the online SOOC--just started, but it seems very promising!
