Cvitanovic&#x27;s book, and apparently Cvitanovic himself (I&#x27;ve traded an email or two, but he&#x27;s friends of friends -and seems to always make a big impression in person) is amazing. It&#x27;s been around in some form or other since I was wrapping up my ph.d. thesis in a related subject, and I remember being mad as hell it didn&#x27;t exist when I started as it had the most understandable explanations of the Gutzwiller trace formula. The late Dieter Wintgen&#x27;s papers were also good, but not as didactic, and without so many examples.<p>I should work out all the problem sets in J and publish the results. Seems like a properly impish trolling.

This book looks really useful: a complete introduction with all the prerequisites, in one place.<p>(I apologize that this comment is not funny.)

Is &quot;chaos&quot; simply the point where <i>humans</i> lose the ability to keep track of things, or is there a more ..universal definition?

I was really hoping for some crazy clone of a Chromebook, like what a Hackintosh is to a Mac, but with some form of chaos.<p>The book is very interesting though :)

I thought this was going to be about the popsci book with a similar name: <i>Chaos: Making a New Science</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;64582.Chaos" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;64582.Chaos</a>
