Text-reference for physical scientists and engineers as well as advanced graduate students treats chaotic motion in nonlinear dynamical systems. The main emphasis of the first edition of 1983 (titled Regular and stochastic motion ) was on intrinsic stochasticity in Hamiltonian systems. This has been broadened to include a thorough introduction to chaotic motion in dissipative systems in the final two chapters. The treatment emphasizes physical insight rather than mathematical rigor. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
