5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, August 13, 2001
By 
Jihwan Myung (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dynamics: The Geometry of Behavior (Paperback)
Some concepts, seemingly obscure and esoteric became intuitively obvious with this book. A great ``picture book'' that will certainly complement any standard textbook in chaotic dynamics. I may sound like a bookseller. But, hey, this book is good!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great, June 19, 2003

Giant Panda (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dynamics: The Geometry of Behavior (Paperback)
It is hard to describe this book without sounding like a bookseller. It is explains the most complex concepts in very simple and elegant "cartoons", so it has the additional advantage of being fun to read. I read the whole thing just a couple of months.

5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful "math/physics" book, February 24, 2008
This review is from: Dynamics: The Geometry of Behavior (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite books. Chock full of enlightening artwork, page after page of colorful drawings, graphs, representations of springs, sound, heat, and other non-linear, real-world phenomena explained and illustrated for intuitive ease. Even if you're not a scientist, or a mathematics fan - this book will open your eyes to concepts that scientists deal with, and that deeply inspire artists and musicians alike.

It's a little like learning chess, and realizing that almost everything is like chess.
Everything is dynamics!
