An Introduction to Dynamical Systems is a textbook written by Kathleen T. Alligood and developed and class-tested by authors at two universities. The book is intended for courses in nonlinear dynamics in mathematics and physics, requiring knowledge of calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra.
Contents
This introduction to dynamical systems covers discrete dynamical systems, chaos, fractals, nonlinear differential equations, and bifurcations. Practical components such as Lab Visits and Computer Experiments provide insight into the application of theories in the natural sciences, chemistry, and biological sciences. Each chapter ends with a Challenge that guides students through an advanced topic via an extensive exercise.
