Description
Thirty years in the making, this revised text by three of the world's leading mathematicians covers the dynamical aspects of ordinary
differential equations. it explores the relations between dynamical systems and certain fields outside pure mathematics, and has become
the standard textbook for graduate courses in this area. The Second Edition now brings students to the brink of contemporary research,
starting from a background that includes only calculus and elementary linear algebra.
The authors are tops in the field of advanced
mathematics, including Steve Smale who is a recipient of the Field's Medal for his work in dynamical systems.
Audience:
Advanced students and practitioners in higher mathematics.
