Nonlinear Dynamics: A Two-Way Trip from Physics to Math FROM THE PUBLISHER
The aim of this book is to provide the reader with the mathematical tools needed from nonlinear dynamics to tackle problems in all areas of physics. The selection of topics emphasises bifurcation theory and topological analysis of dynamical systems. Contact with real problems and experiments is made throughout. Exercises and worked examples are provided to test understanding.
FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
A graduate textbook for students of physics, mathematics, or
engineering. Explains the mathematical tools of nonlinear dynamics or
chaos, and demonstrates how they can be used to tackle problems in
all areas of physics. Presents key concepts and real problems and
experiments in a style that follows the induction-deduction process
by which actual scientific research is conducted.
