Summary

The theory of dynamical systems is a major mathematical discipline closely intertwined with all main areas of mathematics. It has greatly stimulated research in many sciences and given rise to the vast new area variously called applied dynamics, nonlinear science, or chaos theory. This introduction for senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students of mathematics, physics, and engineering combines mathematical rigor with copious examples of important applications. It covers the central …

Critics Review

’… an excellent presentation of the modern theory of dynamical systems at the advanced undergraduate to intermediate graduate level written by two renowned experts in the field.’ Zentralblatt fur Mathematik ‘The book is written in a precise and very readable style, there are many useful remarks and figures throughout. It can be highly recommended to anybody who is interested in dynamical systems and who has a basic knowledge of calculus. The book is also an excellent introduction to the more advanced monograph written by the same authors.’ European Mathematical Society Newsletter ‘I would recommend that all senior undergraduate physics and engineering students should familiarize themselves with its contents … it is a recommendation for a mathematical perspective on dynamics from an engineer for engineers - and from my discussions with practical physicists a similar recommendation from them.’ Contemporary Physics
