About this title

Synopsis

This introduction to modern dynamics, both linear and nonlinear, emphasizes qualitative concepts, while including computational techniques. The applications covered in the book focus on areas of interest to beam physicists, particle accelerator physicists and engineers working in these fields. With its introductory nature and brevity, the book should also be of interest to a broad range of physicists. Besides presenting a solid, systematic development of dynamics, it also covers Hamiltonian dynamics, perturbation theory and chaos
