Synopsis

At the University of Surrey in 1995 an EPSRC Spring School was held in Applied Nonlinear Mathematics for postgraduate students in mathematics, engineering, physics or biology; this volume contains the bulk of the lectures given there, by a team of internationally distinguished scientists. The aim of the school was to introduce students to current topics of research interest at an appropriate level. The majority of the courses are in the area of nonlinear dynamics with application to fluid mechanics, boundary layer transition, driven oscillators and waves. However, there are also lectures considering problems in nonlinear elasticity and mathematical biology. The articles have all been edited so that the book forms a coherent and accessible account of recent advances in nonlinear mathematics.

About this title

Review

'... a coherent account of recent research in these areas, thus making this volume an ideal introduction into a variety of research fields.' L'Enseignement Mathématique

'The book has become a fascinating collection setting a very high standard.' Jaap Molenaar, ITW Nieuws

Book Description

Collected here are lectures on nonlinear applied mathematics given by a team of internationally distinguished scientists. The courses, all edited to form a coherent whole, deal mainly with nonlinear dynamics applied to fluid mechanics, boundary layer transition, driven oscillators and waves, nonlinear elasticity and mathematical biology.
