Introduction to Dynamics
'Percival and Richards give a beautifully clear introduction to dynamics, discussing why scientists should be interested in the stability properties of their equations, and explaining the terminology.' Nature'The authors of this splendid textbook have made a commendable effort to introduce the geometric and qualitative aspects of dynamics at an undergraduate level ... an exciting, well-organised book with many illuminating worked examples. A course based on this book would be a pleasure to teach. It should be greatly appreciated by physicists and engineers, and might help bring applied mathematics forward into the nineteenth century.'
