- I am trying to track down some software written to illustrate chaotic
- behavior as described in the book CHAOS, edited by Arun V. Holden,
- copyright Manchester University Press 1986, published in the USA by
- Princeton University Press. There is a note facing the inner title
- page:
-
- "A suite of programs by M. A. Muhamad and A. V. Holden that
- illustrate chaotic behavior in maps and in differential
- systems is available to accompany this book: these programs
- are available only on 40- or 80-track 5.25" discs for the
- Acorn BBC-B computer.
-
- Maps of the real line, the plane and the complex plane, with
- their associated bifurcation diagrams, strange attractors and
- Julia sets, are presented. Trajectories, strange attractors,
- and reconstructed strange attractors are presented for
- nonlinear differential systems and forced systems described in
- Chapter 2: by changing the parameters of the equations the
- routes into chaos may be followed.
-
- Further information from: Chaos and Strange Attractors,
- Manchester University Press (Software), Oxford Road,
- Manchester M13 9PL, UK."
-
- Before I plunge off to the post office with letter in hand, I would
- like to find out:
-
- 1) Whether these programs or more modern transformations of them
- are available via Internet;
-
- 2) Whether the authors use Internet;
-
- 3) What other such tools may be available;
-
- 4) Whether this is the right place to post this request.

- Thanks,
