Introduction To Nonlinear Dynamics For Physicists - Abarbanel, Henry D I (Univ Of California, San Diego, Usa) a Rabinovich, Mikhail I (Univ Of California, Usa) a Sushchik, Mikhail M (Therma-wave, Inc., Usa)

Presenting substantial qualitative information about phenomena in nonlinear systems, this volume addresses three main questions about nonlinear dynamics: what is it and how does it differ from linear dynamics?; why should we study it?; and how can one progress in the study of nonlinear systems?
