About this title

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.

Review:

"'It is an ambitious venture, written for the physicist who wants to use nonlinear dynamics, and includes many analytic and numerical methods and results that have been developed in the last few decades.'." -Nature "'This book deserves wide reading and will be a rich source of inspiration to the growing community of scientists interested in nonlinear science.'." -Physics Today
