This book presents the main concepts and applications of nonlinear dynamics at an elementary level. The book is based on a one-semester undergraduate course that has been given since 1975 at McGill University and has been constantly updated to keep up with current developments. Based on the authors' successful course for undergraduate students in the biological sciences, the primer presents the main concepts of non-linear dynamics at a level requiring only one year of calculus.
Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics by Daniel Kaplan, Leon Glass Overview
This book presents the main concepts and applications of nonlinear dynamics at an elementary level. The book is based on a one-semester undergraduate course that has been given since 1975 at McGill University and has been constantly updated to keep up with current developments. Based on the authors' successful course for undergraduate students in the biological sciences, the primer presents the main concepts of non-linear dynamics at a level requiring only one year of calculus. This text will appeal to courses being offered in both mathematics and biology. Topics include finite difference equations, the concept of chaos, networks, cellular automata, on- and two-dimensional differential equations, the dynamics of non-linear equations, and linear stability analysis. Examples are all from the biological sciences, exercises are included in each chapter, and basic mathematical reviews are included in an appendix.
Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics by Daniel Kaplan, Leon Glass Review
This is a gentle introdution to nonlinear dynamics, maths are well explained, illustrations are abundant, the overview is very good overall, even if subjects are only touched. It could also serve as an introduction to finite-difference and differential equations for non-maths students.Undergrads looking for something smooth on nonlinear dynamics should get this one...but for advanced readers it is probably a waste of time.
