5.0 out of 5 stars This book takes you by hand through dynamical systems theory
What I like more of this work is tha the autor explains all theconcepts he is using, so it is ideal for people who is a naturalscientist but not necesarilly knows all the formalism of modern mathematics. It is not hard to read and covers the basics for study recent research papers. END

3.0 out of 5 stars Springer dropped the ball
Over all, Verhulst does a ressonable job of conveying the central ideas of the topic. I found it to be slow going for a couple of reasons: First, it's clearly a translation and Springer should have done a better proofreading job ... many of the sentence constructions are unusual for English which is, at the very least, distracting. Second, there are substantial gaps in...

Over all, Verhulst does a ressonable job of conveying the central ideas of the topic. I found it to be slow going for a couple of reasons: First, it's clearly a translation and Springer should have done a better proofreading job ... many of the sentence constructions are unusual for English which is, at the very least, distracting. Second, there are substantial gaps in some of the arguments ... maybe ok for a book at this level, but it often creates considerable frustration.

In contrast, the book by Jordan and Smith (Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations) has few flaws and, in my view, should be read first.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is not even reasonable, July 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Nonlinear Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems (Universitext) (Paperback)
This book was not written for an student of ODE, he was written to the author himself!

This book was used in a course of PhD here in Brazil and the results were very negative. I strongly don't recomend this book... Avoid it...
