Nonlinear Systems

A coherent treatment of nonlinear systems covering chaos fractals and bifurcation as well as equilibrium stability and nonlinear oscillations. The systems treated are mostly of difference and differential equations. The author introduces the mathematical properties of nonlinear systems as an integrated theory rather than simply presenting isolated fashionable topics. The topics are discussed in as concrete a way as possible worked examples and problems are used to motivate and illustrate the general principles. More advanced parts of the text are denoted by asterisks thus making it ideally suited to both undergraduate and graduate courses.
