| Abstract
|
:
|
Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems, arid an Introduction to Chaos, now in its third edition, covers the dynamical aspects of ordinary differential equations. It explores the relations between dynamical systems and certain fields outside pure mathematics, and continues to be the standard textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in this area
|
|
|
:
|
Written for students with a background in calculus and elementary linear algebra, the text is rigorous yet accessible and contains examples and explorations to reinforce learning
