Additional note to Note 2.1.1 History of the study of chaotic systems 

The history described here is fundamentally different from the history written by laymen such as Gleick,  Chaos . If we follow the story that can be understood by any physicists in the US, which was a developing country in the field of chaos study, the description of the history becomes that shallow. As can be seen from this popular book, the popularization was accompanied by considerable excess; for example, such an inadequate viewpoint as chaos being the essence of complex systems was popular, which paved the road to abuses of chaos by a certain domain of the humanities. This may be correlated with the trends found among the `chaos researchers’ to boast that they did not know quantum mechanics or, more generally, to ignore elementary and conventional mathematics and physics. 

 Computers had a large influence on the field, because it was indispensable to increase the number of people who published papers related to chaos.
