5.0 out of 5 stars
For a get-hands-wet approach to learning the subject., April 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical Bifurcation and Stability Analysis (Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics) (v. 5) (Hardcover)
As it promises in its title, this book is concerned with developing a practising knowledge of bifurcation analysis. The book starts with a very simple introduction, and takes off from there. The content is lively and straightforward. Concepts are introduced in plain language, without the technical complexity of formal mathematical jargon. Few theorems are proved, so the concepts remain in focus. Computational techniques are an important concern, and their problems. All in all, an entertaining and at once informative book to learn using a hands-on-approach. It manages to cover a fairly large amount of material, for a thorough introduction. Useful for people who are primarily interested in applications.
