Troubleshooting Macintosh Networks: A Comprehensive Guide to Troubleshooting and Debugging Macintosh Networks/Book and Disk Book

A really outdated book about visualization of strange attractors. The vast majority of the text is taken over by pretty pictures and the step-by-step creation of a fairly eccentric program to create the visualizations (written in BASIC, of all things). Someone gave me the book as a gift years ago and I only picked it up recently since I was teaching myself python and this seemed like a fun way to learn the plotting libraries. The first few chapters provide a decent introduction to chaos found in simple iterated equations, and a few lines of code can give you some nifty visuals. That said, the book continues for pages and pages of absolutely bone-crushing detail that most people will just want to skip.
