Synopsis
This book gathers together the basic ideas of nonlinear theory necessary for all branches of physics, including mechanics of continuous media, optics, radiophysics, solid state physics, as well as plasma physics. It covers all aspects of the field in detail, and is intended for physicists at all levels, from undergraduate students upwards. Accompanying this book are two sets of software. The first comprises six 5 1/4 inch IBM compatible floppy diskettes, on which eight scenarios of dynamic computer graphics are recorded; the second is an ATRS program for research workers.
