Book Recommendation for Iterated Functions?

309 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to study iterated functions on my own, but I'm having a little trouble. The online resources are scarce, and the textbook that I checked out from a nearby college library references things that I haven't already learned; namely the expansion of a function about a fixed point. I have math knowledge up to the basics of single-variable calculus. Can anybody recommend a good book that can introduce me to the basics of fixed-point iteration before I dive in headfirst?
