The code snippet of Figure 5.4 is outdated, and the code now needs to initialize an AttractorViaRecurrences.

Page 171, final paragraph of further reading, "discussed in this chapters". must be "chapter", singular.

The index on p. 236 has entries for "Poincaé maps" and "Principle components"

the equation $λ_i = \frac{1}{N,Δt} \sum_i \log(R_{ii}(t = iΔt))$ in the explanation of the Lyapunov spectrum algorithm (page 42, last paragraph) uses the symbol $i$ twice, once as the index of the Lyapunov exponent and as the summation index for the time average.

Chapter 2, section 2.2.4 on excitable systems. In the last paragraph, and the figure, when the bistability occurs in the FitzHugh Nagumo, we say that the nullclines intersect two times, while it is obvious that they intersect three times, but only two of the intersections are stable fixed points, and the other one is an unstable one.

Wrong formula for the volume of k-dimensional ellipsoid in Appendix A.

image

$$ V(t) = \frac{4}{3} \pi \prod_{i=1}^k (\varepsilon \exp(\lambda_i t)) $$

The multiplicative factor is only correct for $k=3$ (for $t=0$ we would find the usual volume for a sphere of radius $\varepsilon$ for $k=3$, but for $k=2$ we end up with $\frac{4 \pi}{3} \varepsilon^2$ for the volume/measure of a circle of radius $\varepsilon$ instead of $\pi \varepsilon^2$

Equation (2.2) has the wrong t. It should be $$\frac{d T}{d \tilde{t}}$$ and not $$\frac{d T}{d t}$$ with the new $\tilde{t}$ that's homogeneous to K, and not the original $t$.

The equation $$4c/S_0 \approx 0.01 \text{years}$$ is also not dimensionally correct, the correct one should be $$4c \Delta \tilde{t}/S_0 \approx 0.01 \text{years}$$ with $\Delta \tilde{t} = 1K$ corresponding to a change of 1 unit of $\tilde{t}$, which is homogeneous to K.
