Around the Boundary of Complex Dynamics
by Roland K. W. Roeder
Publisher: arXiv 2015
Number of pages: 56
Description:
We introduce the exciting field of complex dynamics at an undergraduate level while reviewing, reinforcing, and extending the ideas learned in an typical first course on complex analysis. Julia sets and the famous Mandelbrot set will be introduced and interesting properties of their boundaries will be described.

Valuations and Hyperbolicity in Dynamicsby Thomas Ward - University of East Anglia
These notes describe several situations in dynamics where the notion of valuations on rings provides a simple language in which to describe and exploit hyperbolicity. This approach goes a little beyond simply providing a convenient language.
