Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

by Robert Hilborn

This book introduces readers to the full range of current and background activity in the rapidly growing field of nonlinear dynamics. It uses a step-by-step introduction to dynamics and geometry in state space to help in understanding nonlinear dynamics and includes a thorough treatment of both differential equation models and iterated map models as well as a derivation of the famous Feigenbaum numbers. It is the only introductory book available that includes the important field of pattern formation and a survey of the controversial questions of quantum chaos. This second edition has been restructured for easier use and the extensive annotated references are updated through January 2000 and include many web sites for a number of the major nonlinear dynamics research centers. With over 200 figures and diagrams, analytic and computer exercises this book is a necessity for both the classroom and the lab.

به جرآت میتونم بگم بحث آشوب جذابترین مبحثی بود که در طول ده سال دانشجویی باهاش برخورد کردم
نظم در بی نظمی کاملا مشهوده در این مبحث
کتاب بیشتر از منظر مکانیک به آشوب نگاه میکنه، ولی کماکان بنظرم بهترین کتابه در مورد آشوب
