Before the relatively recent wide acceptance of the existence of chaotic dynamics, many physicists and engineers were under the impression that simple systems could necessarily only display simple solutions. This feeling had been unintentionally reinforced by conventional college courses which emphasize linear dynamics (partly because that is the only case with nice general solutions). More recently, physical experiments and numerical examples have abundantly demonstrated how wrong this feeling is. A brief review of chaotic dynamics is presented. Topics discussed include basic concepts, recent developments, and applications.
