Chaos Web Sites

This page has several links to interesting sites on the web that show chaos in first order difference equations and systems of first order ordinary differential equations (ODEs).

For an introduction with just a little bit of mathematics, I recommend the book Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick.

The Mandelbrot Set

There are almost a million hits when searching for "Mandelbrot Set" on google. Here is one of my favorites amoung them: a YouTube movie of Baroque Manelbrot Zoom.
