Three one-dimensional maps are presented. The maps are analysed with a combination of Feigenbaum diagrams, the calculation of global Lyapunov exponents, and the evaluation of fixed points. It is shown that in certain cases period two orbits can be evaluated by careful observation of the form of the related pairs of equations. A range of classroom exercises are provided to enable students to investigate the maps further.
