Our life is a highly nonlinear process. It starts with birth and
ends with death; in between there are a lot of ups and downs. Quite
often, we believe that stable and steady situations, probably easy
to capture by linearization, are paradisiacal, but already after a
short period of everyday routine we usually become bored and seek
change, that is, nonlinearities. If we reflect for a while, we
notice that our life and our perceptions are mainly determined by
nonlinear phenomena, for example, events occurring suddenly and
unexpectedly. One may be surprised by how long scientists tried to
explain our world by models based on a linear ansatz. Due to the
lack of typical nonlinear patterns, although everybody experienced
nonlinearities, nobody could classify them and, thus, . study them
further. The discoveries of the last few decades have finally
provided access to the world of nonlinear phenomena and have
initiated a unique inter disciplinary field of research: nonlinear
science. In contrast to the general tendency of science to become
more branched out and specialized as the result of any progress,
nonlinear science has brought together many different disciplines.
This has been motivated not only by the immense importance of
nonlinearities for science, but also by the wonderful simplicity
ohhe concepts. Models like the logistic map can be easily
understood by high school students and have brought revolutionary
new insights into our scientific under standing."
