I am so very sorry, but I did not know where to put this thread!
I would like to request any helpful links and/or tutorials relating to basic discrete dynamical systems, or any help at all!

It should cover:
linear one dimension difference equations; non-linear one dimension difference equations; quadratic one dimensional difference equation; linear two dimensional difference equations (matrices); matrices
(that is, they are all maps, and discrete, not continuous)

Covering: equilibria, maps, orbits, bifurcation, graphical techiniques (stair-step & cobweb diagrams); logistic map; fixed points; cycles (as in 2-cycle, 4-cycle etc); (transition) probability matrices; matrices in general; simple Markov process; two dimensional dynamical systems using matrices; eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

I know it is a big ask, but any help is appreciated.
