| Summary: | "By providing an introduction to nonlinear differential equations, Dr Glendinning aims to equip the student with the mathematical know-how needed to appreciate stability theory and bifurcations. His approach is readable and covers material both old and new to undergraduate courses. Included are treatments of the Poincare;-Bendixson theorem, the Hopf bifurcation and chaotic systems. The unique treatment that is found in this book will prove to be an essential guide to stability and chaos."--Publisher description. |
