Author Description

Chaos: An Introduction to Dynamical Systems was developed and class-tested by a distinguished team of authors at two universities through their teaching of courses based on the material. Intended for courses in nonlinear dynamics offered in either Mathematics or Physics, the text requires only calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra as prerequisites. Spanning the wide reach of nonlinear dynamics throughout mathematics, natural and physical science, Chaos: An Introduction to Dynamical, Systems develops and explains the most intriguing and fundamental elements of the topic, and examines their broad implications.
