MacMath
Comes on a disk with the book MacMath, by Hubbard and West. A collection of
programs for dynamical systems (1 & 2 D maps, 1 to 3D flows). Version 9.2 is
the current version, but West is working on a much improved update.

Nonlinear Dynamics Toolbox
Josh Reiss' NDT includes routines for the analysis of chaotic data, such as
power spectral analyses, determination of the Lyapunov spectrum, mutual
information function, prediction, noise reduction, and dimensional analysis.

PHASER
Kocak, H., 1989. Differential and Difference Equations through Computer
Experiments: with a supplementary diskette containing PHASER: An
Animator/Simulator for Dynamical Systems. Demonstrates a large number of 1D-4D
differential equations--many not chaotic--and 1D-3D difference equations.
System: PC-compatible

PhysioToolkit
Software for physiologic signal processing and analysis, detection of
physiologically significant events using both classical techniques and novel
methods based on statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics
System: Unix
Available: http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/
Recurrence Quantification Analysis
Recurrence plots give a visual indication of deterministic behavior in complex
time series. The program, by Webber and Zbilut creates the plots and
quantifies the determinism with five measures.
System: DOS executable
Available:http://homepages.luc.edu/~cwebber/
SciLab
A simulation program similar in intent to MatLab. It's primarily designed for
systems/signals work, and is large. From INRIA in France.
System: Unix, X Windows, 20 Meg Disk space.
Available : ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/Projects/Meta2/
StdMap
Iterates Area Preserving Maps, by J. D. Meiss. Iterates 8 different maps. It
will find periodic orbits, cantori, stable and unstable manifolds, and allows
you to iterate curves.
System: Macintosh
Available: http://amath.colorado.edu/faculty/jdm/stdmap.html
STELLA
Simulates dynamics for Biological and Social systems modelling. Uses a
building block metaphor constructing models.
System: Macintosh and Windows PC
