This book provides an introduction to the theory of chaotic systems and demonstrates how chaos and coherence are interwoven in some of the models exhibiting deterministic chaos. It is based on the lecture notes for a short course in dynamical systems theory given at the University of Oslo.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"A grand book for a course aimed at mathematicians, physicists, or engineers ... the whole sweep of nonlinear dynamics, from chaos to cellular automata ... an exciting little book."
-New Scientist
"... a wonderful book. The book serves as an excellent introduction in the field for the beginners. The reading of this book will be fruitful for all scientists and engineers stimulating them to understand the surrounding nature. The book is a valuable acquisition for any academic or technical library."
