This significant volume is intended for advanced undergraduate or
first year graduate students as an introduction to applied
nonlinear dynamics and chaos. The author has placed emphasis on
teaching the techniques and ideas which will enable students to
take specific dynamical systems and obtain some quantitative
information about the behavior of these systems. He has included
the basic core material that is necessary for higher levels of
study and research. Thus, people who do not necessarily have an
extensive mathematical background, such as students in engineering,
physics, chemistry and biology, will find this text as useful as
students of mathematics. Overall, this will be a text that should
be required for all students entering this field.
