Resumo: This article was written to students of mathematics, physics and engineering. In general, the word chaos may refer to any state of confusion or disorder and it may also refer to mythology or philosophy. In science and mathematics it is understood as irregular behavior sensitive to initial conditions. In this article we analyze the deterministic chaos theory, a branch of mathematics and physics that deals with dynamical systems (nonlinear differential equations or mappings) with very peculiar properties. Fundamental concepts of the deterministic chaos theory are briefly analyzed and some illustrative examples of conservative and dissipative chaotic motions are introduced. Complementarily, we studied in details the chaotic motion of some dynamical systems described by differential equations and mappings. Relations between chaotic, stochastic and turbulent phenomena are also commented.
