3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit Heavy For Me, February 25, 2010

This review is from: A First Course in Dynamics: with a Panorama of Recent Developments (Paperback)
This book has been very challenging for me. I'm not a mathematician (except in my dreams), and this book is heavy with abstract theory. One of the biggest challenges is that the book uses symbology not familiar to me, and there is no glossary of symbols (which would be VERY useful).

I would be interested in what others with a more mathematical background think about the book -- am I wasting my time trying to slog through it?

For someone just trying to get a feel for nonlinear dynamics and chaos, I strongly recommend Steven Strogatz's book "Nonlinear Dynamics And Chaos".
