The Quadratic Map Simulation System is a program for the Mac OS that allows one to explore the dynamics of iterations of the quadratic map, also known as the logistic map. The program adheres to all the Macintosh interface guidelines, thus making simulations easy to run and examine. The program accompanies the text book An Experimental Approach to Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos by Nicholas B. Tufillaro, Tyler Abbott, and Jerermiah Reilly (Addison-Wesley, 1992), and it is a tool which allows one to learn about the behavior of chaotic systems. Chapter one of the book provides an introduction to the basic periodic and chaotic dynamics of the quadratic map. The book also comes with an extensive User's Manual.
