Nonlinear physics continues to be an area of dynamic modern
research, with applications to physics, engineering, chemistry,
mathematics, computer science, biology, medicine and economics. In
this text extensive use is made of the Mathematica computer algebra
system. No prior knowledge of Mathematica or programming is
assumed. The authors have included a CD-ROM that contains over 130
annotated Mathematica files. These files may be used to solve and
explore the text's 400 problems. This book includes 33 experimental
activities that are designed to deepen and broaden the reader's
understanding of nonlinear physics. These activities are correlated
with Part I, the theoretical framework of the text. Additional
features: * User-friendly, accessible presentation integrating
theory, experiments, and the provided Mathematica notebooks; as the
concepts of nonlinear science are developed, readers are gently
introduced to Mathematica as an auxiliary tool * CD-ROM includes a
wide variety of illustrative nonlinear examples solved with
Mathematica--command structures introduced on a need-to-know basis
* Notebooks designed to make use of Mathematica's sound capability
* Mathematica notebook using the EulerEquation command incorporated
into the text This work is an excellent text for undergraduate and
graduate students as well as a useful resource for working
scientists. Reviewer comments on the Maple edition of NONLINEAR
PHYSICS: "An...excellent book...the authors have been able to cover
an extraordinary range of topics and hopefully excite a wide
audience to investigate nonlinear phenomena...accessible to
advanced undergraduates and yet challenging enough for graduate
students and workingscientists.... The reader is guided through it
all with sound advice and humor.... I hope that many will adopt the
text." -American Journal of Physics "Its organization of subject
matter, clarity of writing, and smooth integration of analytic and
computational techniques put it among the very best...Richard Enns
and George McGuire have written an excellent text for introductory
nonlinear physics." -Computers in Physics,.".correctly balances a
good treatment of nonlinear, but also nonchaotic, behavior of
systems with some of the exciting findings about chaotic
dynamics...one of the book's strength is the diverse selection of
examples from mechanical, chemical, electronic, fluid and many
other systems .... Another strength of the book is the diversity of
approaches that the student is encouraged to take...the authors
have chosen well, and the trio of text, ...software, and lab manual
gives the newcomer to nonlinear physics quite an effective set of
tools.... Basic ideas are explained clearly and illustrated with
many examples." -Physics Today,.". the care that the authors have
taken to ensure that their text is as comprehensive, versatile,
interactive, and student-friendly as possible place this book far
above the average." -Scientific Computing World
