Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos

Reviews / Votes

"This handsome volume is the proceedings of a conference held in Bristol in 2001, which had the aim of charting new directions for the exploration of nonlinear dynamical systems. The editors must be commended for their work: the individual chapters have been given a clean, uniform style that reflects a serious effort to present the volume as a unified book rather than a recollection of articles, with several cross-references between the chapters. The book is also remarkably free of typographical errors. I heartily recommend this collection to students looking for some direction (as long as they don't think this is all of nonlinear dynamics!)."

"This timely and important book is a record of papers presented at a conference in Bristol and is very well edited, and produced ... The very richness of this book, in both theory and real-world applications, makes it difficult to summarize and even more difficult to put down."

"The book is written by authors who are champions of their field. All researchers in nonlinear dynamics should have access to this book. It is a valuable resource of references and it contains a lot of ideas and open problems in various fields. One might think of it as a catalogue of problems in nonlinear dynamics. The introduction of the book is a 'must-read.' It presents the nature and the philosophy of the book (and the symposium). Reading the introduction, the editors clearly have done a great job of managing each of the invited lecturers to translate the philosophy of the symposium into their lectures ... my impression is that all authors did a good job presenting the excitement of their research and addressing the interesting questions. This book in general is a valuable addition to the literature of the theory and practice of nonlinear dynamics and chaos."
