Download or read book Fundamentals of Dynamical Systems and Bifurcation Theory written by Milan Medved̕ and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-05-21 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This graduate level text explains the fundamentals of the theory of dynamical systems. After reading it you will have a good enough understanding of the area to study the extensive literature on dynamical systems. The book is self contained, as all the essential definitions and proofs are supplied, as are useful references: all the reader needs is a knowledge of basic mathematical analysis, algebra and topology. However, the first chapter contains an explanation of some of the methods of differential topology an understanding of which is essential to the theory of dynamical systems. A clear introduction to the field, which is equally useful for postgraduates in the natural sciences, engineering and economics.
