Chaos in Dynamical Systems ANNOTATION
Recently scientists, mathematicians, and engineers have discovered within a variety of systems a complex behavior pattern called chaos. This book provides a foundation in understanding the emerging science of chaotic dynamics. It is intended to serve both as a graduate course text for science and engineering students and as a reference and introduction for researchers. Homework problems also are included throughout the book. Edward Ott is with the University of Maryland at College Park. 196 line drawings; 3 tables.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
This book is an in-depth and broad text on the subject of chaos in dynamical systems, intended to serve both as a graduate course text for science and engineering students, and as a reference and introduction to the subject for researchers. Within the past decade scientists, mathematicians and engineers have realized that a large variety of systems exhibit complicated evolution with time. This complicated behaviour, called chaos, occurs so frequently that it has become important to have a good grasp of the fundamentals and basic tools of the emerging science of chaotic dynamics.
