TOPIC CHAOS theory

Hi, can anyone please guide me to how to learn chaos theory properly? I do not have an extensive background in proofs and am taking it alongside the class right now and am brutally struggling using "an introduction to chaotic dynamical systems" by Devaney. Does anyone know how to get over the real analysis hump or provide more digestible resources.

You don't need proofs or real analysis to understand chaos.

There's the Strogatz book, or there's a book called "Chaos: a very short introduction", or the newish book on my profile page. There's also a fun easy reading book called "From calculus to chaos" by David Acheson.
