References and Links

• A huge bibliography (with search engine) for nonlinear dynamics (including related time series issues) can be found at German Chaos List
• A highly recommended text for the course is Nonlinear Time Series, by Kantz and Schreiber
• Another highly recommended and inexpensive book ($30) for the course is Analysis of Observed Chaotic Data, by Abarbanel.
• Coping Wth Chaos, edited by Ott, Sauer, Yorke (Wiley Interscience) also looks good.
