Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Provided here is the first introductory book on chaos in nonlinear systems written for senior and first year graduate students in physics and science. The book does not attempt to be encyclopedic, but instead covers those topics that have become standard in the subject. Its level should make the book appealing to a broad variety of scientists and engineers as an introduction to Chaotic Dynamics. The book has many examples and is heavily illustrated. It has been designed specifically for senior and first-year graduates concerned with chaos and nonlinear systems.

"A Wiley-Interscience publication."

Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-225) and index.

CHOICE Review

In this self-contained treatment of the fundamentals of nonlinear dynamics and chaos, Rasband, a physicist, treats the important models for the transitions to chaos of dynamic systems. It is assumed that the reader possesses a background in differential equations and linear vector spaces. Computations on a personal computer or programmable calculator are encouraged. Some of the contents are similar to the material in P. Berge, Y. Pomeau, and C. Vidal's Order Within Chaos (CH, Oct'87), F.C. Moon's Chaotic Vibrations (CH, Jun'88), and J.M.T. Thompson and H.B. Stewart's Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (CH, Feb'87). The book will be of particular interest to researchers and advanced undergraduate students in engineering, mathematics, and physics. -J. F.
