This is a textbook on chaos and nonlinear dynamics, written by Applied Mathematicians for Applied mathematicians.
Written.
While the subject matter is now classical and can be found in many other books, what distinguishes this book is its philosophical approach, its breadth, its conciseness, and its exploration of intellectual byways, as well as its liberal and informative use of illustration.
It aims to tread a middle ground between the mathematician\'s rigour and the physicist\'s pragmatism.
