Chaos and nonlinear dynamics : an introduction for scientists and engineers
Hilborn, Robert CAuthor
Oxford : Oxford University Press,
2000.
This book introduces students, scientists, and engineers to the full range of activity in the rapidly growing field on nonlinear dynamics. Using a step-by-step introduction to dynamics and geometry in state space as the central focus of understanding nonlinear dynamics, this book includes a thorough treatment of both differential equation models and iterated map models (including a derivation of the famous Feigenbaum numbers).
