About this book
Over the past few decades, there has been an unprecedented interest and advances in nonlinear systems, chaos theory and fractals, which is reflected in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula around the world. The book is useful for courses in dynamical systems and chaos, nonlinear dynamics, etc., for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering.
Reviews
“The text is a strong and rigorous treatment of the introduction of dynamical systems … . The exercises presented at the end of each chapter are suitable for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. As a reference source, the text is very well-organized with its division of the subject into continuous and discrete dynamical systems. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals and practitioners.” (M. D. Sanford, Choice, Vol. 54 (2), October, 2016)
This textbook provides a clear presentation of many standard topics in dynamical systems. Overall, the book is well written in a clear logical manner. The chapter titles precisely indicate the topics covered by the author. These are…..
