Pattern Formation : An Introduction to Methods (Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics)

Book Description
The different approaches used in describing pattern formation are combined in this introduction to the theory of nonlinear patterns for undergraduate and graduate students. Regular patterns are found in abundance in nature, from the spots on a leopard's back to the ripples on a sandy beach or desert dune. Recent research suggests that the selection of one pattern over another is actually an inherently nonlinear phenomenon.
