Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: With Applications to Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering (Studies in Nonlinearity)
Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos With Applications to Physics Biology Chemistry and Engineering - Studies in Nonlinearity Author:Steven H. Strogatz An accessible and clearly-written introduction for first-time students of chaos and nonlinear systems, with plenty of examples, illustrations, and applications to science and engineering. The theory is developed systematically, starting with first-order differential equations and their bifurcations, followed by phase plane analysis, limit cycle... more »s and their bifurcations, and culminating with the Lorenz equations, chaos, iterated maps, period doubling, renormalization, fractals, and strange attractors.« less
