Information About
What is nonlinear dynamics and what makes it differ from linear dynamics? Why study nonlinear systems? How can one progress in the study of nonlinear systems both in the analysis of these systems when we know them and in learning about new systems from observations of their experimental behavior? This volume points the way for the interested reader. Useful problems have also been incorporated as a guide.
