Valuations and Hyperbolicity in Dynamics
by Thomas Ward
Publisher: University of East Anglia 2001
Number of pages: 58
Description:
These notes describe several situations in dynamics where the notion of valuations on rings provides a simple language in which to describe and exploit (analogues of) hyperbolicity. This approach goes a little beyond simply providing a convenient language.

The Chaos Hypertextbookby Glenn Elert
This book is written for anyone with an interest in chaos, fractals, non-linear dynamics, or mathematics in general. It's a moderately heavy piece of work, requiring a bit of mathematical knowledge, but it is definitely not aimed at mathematicians.
