商品簡介
Hilborn (physics, Amherst College) presents an introduction to chaos and nonlinear dynamics, using the description of a system's behavior in state space as the main conceptual tool. Both differential equation models and iterated map models are discussed. Coverage extends to pattern formation, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, and a survey of the question of quantum chaos. The text is designed for students familiar with college-level introductory physics and calculus through elementary differential equations. Distributed by Oxford U. Press. Annotation c.
