For those interested in studying Hamiltonian chaos and KAM theory without needing an advanced math background, several resources are recommended. A notable suggestion is Strogatz's book, which, while comprehensive, is approachable for beginners. There is curiosity about whether this book can be interpreted in a more visual or simplified format, akin to a comic book. Additionally, Ott's "Chaos in Dynamical Systems" includes a relevant chapter on the topic, providing further insights. The discussion also highlights the importance of understanding the limitations of canonical perturbation theories within this field. Overall, the focus is on accessible yet thorough materials for grasping these complex concepts.

I'm looking for books (or any other reference) to start studying the emergence of Hamiltonian chaos and KAM theory. You know, something that doesn't require a Ph.D in math to understand but is comprehensive enough to give a good understanding of the topic. Added bonus if it has a discussion on the limitations of canonical perturbation theories.

Can you read Strogaz book as if it were a comic book?
 

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
