Abstract
In a sense the method of symbolic dynamics(1) is the only mathematically rigorous approach to the study of chaotic behavior in dynamical systems. However, having its roots in the topological theory of dynamical systems, symbolic dynamics remains a rather abstract chapter of mathematics and still seems to be useless for a practical physicist. The aim of this chapter is to show that there exists an elementary way to use at least a small “subset” of the method of symbolic dynamics to help the practical physicist in dealing with his data from computer or laboratory experiments. The adjective “elementary” means we shall use elementary mathematics only.
