About this product
Product Information
The theory of dynamical systems has given rise to the vast new area variously called applied dynamics, nonlinear science, or chaos theory. This introductory text covers the central topological and probabilistic notions in dynamics ranging from Newtonian mechanics to coding theory. The only prerequisite is a basic undergraduate analysis course. The authors use a progression of examples to present the concepts and tools for describing asymptotic behavior in dynamical systems, gradually increasing the level of complexity. Subjects include contractions, logistic maps, equidistribution, symbolic dynamics, mechanics, hyperbolic dynamics, strange attractors, twist maps, and KAM-theory.

Reviews
'The book is written in a precise and very readable style, there are many useful remarks and figures throughout. It can be highly recommended to anybody who is interested in dynamical systems and who has a basic knowledge of calculus. The book is also an excellent introduction to the more advanced monograph written by the same authors.'
