Opis

This book provides working tools for the study and design of dynamical systems, emphasizing qualitative analysis over complex mathematics. The author includes executable Mathematica notebooks and extensive examples for discussion of mechanical models, models of chemical reactions, dynamics of patterns, and dynamical systems in space.

Spis treści
