DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Thomas R. Schulte. Great book and excellent service!. If your program uses this book, quit your program Frankly, I think my review title is a perfect summary. We are using this in my dynamical systems class at Portland State and it is continually amusing to me that my professor on a daily basis says something along the lines of: "well, I don't really know why he chose to approach it that way." Meaning that the construction of the material in this book is terrible.Moreover, one cannot be heartened perusing the long list . Andrew J. Hamilton said Terrible Text Book. If you would like to study Dynamical Systems, then it would behoove you to avoid this text at all costs. It assumes only calculus, linear algebra and some differential equations, but then goes off on wild tangents - never explaining any of the steps in the examples and using the most cumbersome language possible for its Theorems and definitions. Easily one of the worst textbooks I have ever used.
A course that covers the material from the primary sections, without covering the sections at the end of the chapter on applications and more theoretical material, results in a course on the concepts of dynamical systems with some motivation from applications. A semester course on differential equations could also cover selected topics on iteration of functions from chapters nine through eleven. The book 85 by J. Finally, we have not assumed that the student has a course on real analysis or advanced calculus. © Reprinted by
Its main emphasis is on the types of behavior which nonlinear systems of differential equations can exhibit. For professionals with a strong mathematics background.. This book gives an introduction into the ideas of dynamical systems. It is divided into two parts which can be read in either order: the first part treats the aspects coming from systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and the second part is comprised of those aspects dealing with iteration of a function
