Drawing examples from mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology,
engineering, economics, medicine, politics, and sports, this book
illustrates how nonlinear dynamics plays a vital role in our world.
Examples cover a wide range from the spread and possible control of
communicable diseases, to the lack of predictability in long-range
weather forecasting, to competition between political groups and
nations. After an introductory chapter that explores what it means
to be nonlinear, the book covers the mathematical concepts such as
limit cycles, fractals, chaos, bifurcations, and solitons, that
will be applied throughout the book. Numerous computer simulations
and exercises allow students to explore topics in greater depth
using the Maple computer algebra system. The mathematical level of
the text assumes prior exposure to ordinary differential equations
and familiarity with the wave and diffusion equations. No prior
knowledge of Maple is assumed. The book may be used at the
undergraduate or graduate level to prepare science and engineering
students for problems in the "real world", or for self-study by
practicing scientists and engineers.
