- I do not know of any decent introduction texts, or papers, although
- Scientific American indexes would probably turn up something
- appropriate. I've used Scientific American articles on some very
- esoteric mathematical concepts to teach students, they generally
- get the original author of the technique or finding, and commission
- them to write a "layman's article" on their work. Very useful.

- If you're using Chaos in a statistical modelling context, you may
- personally (as opposed to being useful to your class?) find these
- three articles worth reading:
-
- Berliner, L. Mark (1992) "Statistics, probability and chaos"
- Statistical Science (7:1) 69-122
-
- Chatterjee, Sangit & Mustafa R. Tilmaz (1992) "Chaos, fractals
- and statistics" Statistical Science (7:1) 49-68
-
- Schubert, Siegfried D., Suarez, Max J. & Schemm, Jae-Kyung (1992)
- "Persistence and predictability in a perfect model"
- Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences (49:3) 256-270
-
- The reference lists from these should set you onto other useful things too...
-
- Good luck, and have fun!
-
- Jon.
