This textbook in the mathematical fundamentals of the new science of chaos is suitable for students at the senior high school level. You will learn what iteration is and see demonstrations of the iteration of some simple functions. We run models of the chaotic response of some real physical systems, we explore chaos in sets of complex numbers and we show how fractal images are created from almost nothing. The ram's horn above is completely defined by 12 numbers. Teachers may use the included authoring tools to create lessons for use in the classroom or for independent study.
