Review: This book presents and explores the chaotic phenomena in the single-degree-of-freedom, nonlinear driven oscillators. These oscillators belong to the class of dissipative deterministic dynamics systems: the forces acting on them are determined in time, and forces act on them so that free oscillations decay in time. The author concentrates on the geometric interpretation of numerical results, explaining both the theoretical concepts and the physical phenomena using carefully elected examples of colour and b&w computer graphics.
