Excellent November 18, 1999
I'm currently taking an undergraduate course that is based on this book. This is really a very well-written and readable book. After struggling with many a dry textbook, reading this book is refreshing, and for once actually catches my interest!
Excellent Intro to Nonlinear Dynamics October 31, 1999
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
It is an excellent introduction to nonlinear dynamics and also one of the most instructive and well written course book I ever read.
Great undergrad text August 5, 1998
I recently took an undergrad course which used this book as the text. This book is very easy to follow, contains great explanations and diagrams, and is just plain interesting to read. Anyone who has had a basic calc/ODE class background could understand this book.
Great intro to nonlinear dynamics with excellent examples July 28, 1998
21 out of 21 found this review helpful
This book is an excellent introductory graduate level text on nonlinear dynamics for those who wish to understand the basic concepts before seeing the mathematical rigor at the heart of the subject. Strogatz avoids getting caught up in mathematical nuances which often cloud the big picture for non-math students, and thereby clearly impresses upon the reader the essence of nonlinear dynamics, eventually building up to chaos. The examples and problems are truly unique and inspiring. This book is an excellent starting place for someone who knows little or nothing about nonlinear dynamics but has done some basic work with linear differential equations and linear algebra.
A sufficiently elementary and yet thorough introduction. July 17, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A very good book. Recommended for all readers familiar or even vaguely familiar with Ordinary Differential Equations and Calculus. Its informal style helps a lot. The examples are clear and enough background information is given to understand them.
