Recent development of mathematical models on circuits to both theoretical and practical directions gives rise to an intensive research of the corresponding engineering applications. Autonomous and nonautonomous Chua’s circuits hold a special importance in the studies of probabilistic system modeling and stochastical science and engineering applications. Since a considerable number of hardware- and software-based design and implementation approaches can be applied to Chua’s circuits, these circuits also constitute excellent didactical models with pedagogical value in the study of nonlinear dynamics and chaos. The book of the author, from Erciyes University of Turkey, presents some hardware- and software-based design and implementation approaches on Chua’s circuits with interesting applications and updated synthesis of previous works. It is didactically written and provides new educational insights for practicing chaotic dynamics in a systematic way in science and engineering undergraduate and graduate education programs. The author, with attentful care, wish to provide a practical guide for readers ranging from graduate and advance. Undergraduate science and engineering students to nonlinear scientists, electronic engineers, physicists, and chaos researchers.
