Celebrated mathematician Shlomo Sternberg, a pioneer in the field
of dynamical systems, created this modern one-semester introduction
to the subject for his classes at Harvard University. Its
wide-ranging treatment covers one-dimensional dynamics,
differential equations, random walks, iterated function systems,
symbolic dynamics, and Markov chains. Supplementary materials offer
a variety of online components, including PowerPoint lecture slides
for professors and MATLAB exercises.
"Even though there are many dynamical systems books on the market,
this book is bound to become a classic. The theory is explained
with attractive stories illustrating the theory of dynamical
systems, such as the Newton method, the Feigenbaum renormalization
picture, fractal geometry, the Perron-Frobenius mechanism, and
Google PageRank." -- Oliver Knill, PhD, Preceptor of Mathematics,
Harvard University.
