Philosophy of the Text This text presents an introductory survey of the basic concepts and applied mathematical methods of nonlinear science as well as an introduction to some simple related nonlinear experimental activities. Students in engineering, phys- ics, chemistry, mathematics, computing scie[...]
Drawing examples from mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, economics, medicine, politics, and sports, this book illustrates how nonlinear dynamics plays a vital role in our world. Examples cover a wide range from the spread and possible control of communicable diseases, to the lack[...]
Including 74 example files of MAPLE, 60 annotated MAPLE worksheets, 400 problems, and 30 experimental "hands-on" activities, this volume requires no prior knowledge of MAPLE and is designed for students in engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science and biology.[...]
