Chaotic Dynamics of Nonlinear SystemsProvided here is the first introductory book on chaos in nonlinear systems written for senior and first year graduate students in physics and science. The book does not attempt to be encyclopedic, but instead covers those topics that have become standard in the subject. Its level should make the book appealing to a broad variety of scientists and engineers as an introduction to Chaotic Dynamics. The book has many examples and is heavily illustrated. It has been designed specifically for senior and first-year graduates concerned with chaos and nonlinear systems. |
