Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos

With Applications to Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering

Beschreibung

This textbook is aimed at newcomers to nonlinear dynamics and chaos, especially students taking a first course in the subject. The presentation stresses analytical methods, concrete examples, and geometric intuition. The theory is developed systematically, starting with first-order differential equations and their bifurcations.
