Chaos theory

JC Sprott is a knowledgeable person on the topic of chaos, he wrote a book on the topic which was well written in comparison to some of the other chaos books ive seen, and i found a website by him with essentially a series of lectures or web references relevant tot each topic. very nice complete overview.

Good brief overview of chaos theory essentials
