A little complex... April 15, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is an excelent text with challenging problems (which you should work at for a while and not give up!)and clear explanations. The book explains a mostly geometric approach, and leaves the ananlytical side to you. Buy this book even if you've never heard of "Nonlinear Dynamics". You'll be glad you did!
Fantastic Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos February 15, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Strogatz gradually introduces you into the analysis of Dynamics, their interpretation and Evaluation all that with just moderate Calculus, Basic Ordinary Differential Equations and very Little Algebra. It is also suited for easy self study. It is very Pedagogic Stressing in the Interpretation and Understanding of Topics due to its detailed and compresive explanatons chapter by chapter. Allthou it is enriched with many applied examples in Physics, Biology, Chemistry,... Making it extreme easy to follow all the topics as well as deepenig more in them. It is a jewell among the introductory Chaos Theory and Nonlinear Dynamics books towards the multidisciplinarity of Science in the coming Century.
Great book January 9, 1998
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
It is an absolutely marvelous text. I was looking for a text which introduced nonlinear dynamics and all its interesting applications to professors and scientists whose common background included only 1 year of calculus. All I could find was higher level math books, which for the most part were very boring as they got lost in an orgy of math. This text introduces concepts using an intuitive, graphical approach. The mathematics is rigorous, but boring details are avoided. There are fantastic examples in all areas of science. I have often noted that there are many science texts but far too few good ones. This is a great one.
