Beschreibung

This book, together with the accompanying computer program Dynamics 2 (included on a diskette), is suitable for the novice and the expert in dynamical systems. It helps the novice begin immediately exploring dynamical systems with a broad array of interactive techniques. The book explains basic ideas of nonlinear dynamical systems, and Dynamics 2 provides many tools developed by the Maryland Chaos group to visualize dynamical systems. Dynamics 2 can be used by undergraduates, by graduate students, and by researchers in a variety of scientific disciplines.Revised and Enlarged edition. Very good condition. With original 3.5 floppy disk in pocket on inside back cover. 1.47 Centimeters X 15.5 Centimeters X 23.5 Centimeters.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The Dynamics program and handbook allows the reader to explore nonlinear dynamics and chaos by the use of illustrated graphics. It is suitable for research and educational needs. This new edition allows the program to run 3 times faster on the processes that are time consuming. Other major changes include: There will be an add-your-own equation facility. This means it will be unnecessary to have a compiler. PD and Lyanpunov exponents and Newton method for finding periodic orbits can all be carried out numerically without adding specific code for partial derivatives. The program will support color postscript. New menu system in which the user is prompted by options when a command is chosen. This means that the program is much easier to learn and to remember in comparison to current version. Mouse support is added. The program will be able to use the expanded memory available on modern PC's. This means pictures will be higher resolution. There are also many minor chan ce much of the source code will be available on the web, although some of ges such as zoom facility and help facility. Due to limited spa it willr emain on the disk so that the unix users still have to purchase the book. This will allow minor upgrades for Unix users.
