-
- Welcome to the world of "kaos," a dynamical system toolkit!!!
-
- This package is the product of years of research and development
- efforts by the authors in investigating a set of problems in
- dynamical systems.
-
- The kaos toolkit provides a user-friendly, efficent graphic
- interface to a collection of numerical and graphical tools for
- investigating dynamical systems. Sophisticated numerical algorithms
- are enhanced by an easy-to-use interface, and kaos provides the
- means to save and manage data in a manner which is both fast and
- concise.
-
- The kaos package is both general and flexible. Users may define
- their own dynamical system by editing a single subroutine. The
- first attempt to install a new dynamical system into kaos is usually
- completed in about thirty minutes. Many other apsects of kaos are
- also customizable. The program has slots for various algorithms and
- procedures to be installed by the user.
-
- This is by no means a finished product. We expect to add many new
- features in coming months. The beta version of the package is
- planned to be released in the summer of 1990. We welcome
- comments on the program design and suggestions to improve the
- package, as well as bug reports. Correspondence may be addressed to
