The discipline of nonlinear dynamics, or chaos, has developed explosively in all areas of physics over the last two decades. This comprehensive primer for researchers and graduate students of astrophysics provides the necessary investigative tools to explore chaotic and complex phenomena. Mathematical concepts and techniques are introduced in the first part of the book, before being applied to a variety of astrophysical systems. The book demonstrates the application of ideas such as strange attractors, Poincaré sections, fractals, bifurcations and complex spatial patterns to specific astrophysical problems.
