A collection of algorithms used in chaos and fractals, together with programs in TURBO PASCAL, TURBO C, and REDUCE are presented. The theoretical and mathematical background of each problem is given in enough detail so that the reader can understand the reason for each step, and the intermediate and final results as they should appear on the screen are pictured. The book includes: one- and two-dimensional maps; Hamilton, dissipative, driven, and iterated function systems; as well as Mandelbrot and Julia sets. All the quantities used to describe chaos are included in the algorithms. Some of these parameters are: invariant density, Lyapunov exponent, correlation integral, autocorrelation function, capacity, phase portrait, Poincaré section, Fourier transform, calculations of exact trajectories, fixed points and their stability, etc. Finally, cellular automata, Farey sequence, Fibonacci sequence, Lie series and Runge-Kutta techniques, and integration in the complex plane are included.
