Zusammenfassung:	This is the only book that introduces the full range of activity in the rapidly growing field of nonlinear dynamics to students, scientists, and engineers with no in-depth experience in the subject. The text provides a step-by-step discussion of dynamics and geometry in state space as a basis for its explanation of nonlinear dynamics. It goes on to introduce Hamiltonian dynamics and present thorough treatments of such key topics as differential equation models, iterated map models (including a derivation of the famous Feigenbaum numbers), and the surprising role of number theory in dynamics. It is also the only introductory level book to include the increasingly important field of pattern formation, along with a survey of the controversial questions of quantum chaos. Important analytical tools, such as Lyapunov exponents, Kolmogorov entropies, and fractal dimensions, are treated in detail With over 200 figures and diagrams, and both analytic and computer exercises following every chapter, the book is ideally suited for use as a text or for self-instruction. An extensive collection of annotated references surveys the literature in nonlinear dynamics, which the reader will be prepared to tackle after completing the book
