Differential equations are the basis for models of any physical systems that exhibitsmooth change. This book combines much of the material found in a traditionalcourse on ordinary differential equations with an introduction to the more moderntheory of dynamical systems. Applications of this theory to physics, biology,chemistry, and engineering are shown through examples in such areas as populationmodeling, fluid dynamics, electronics, and mechanics.

Differential Dynamical Systems begins with coverage of linear systems, includingmatrix algebra; the focus then shifts to foundational material on nonlinear differentialequations, making heavy use of the contraction-mapping theorem. Subsequentchapters deal specifically with dynamical systems concepts—flow, stability, invariantmanifolds, the phase plane, bifurcation, chaos, and Hamiltonian dynamics.

Throughout the book, the author includes exercises to help students develop ananalytical and geometrical understanding of dynamics. Many of the exercises andexamples are based on applications and some involve computation; an appendixoffers simple codes written in Maple®, Mathematica®, and MATLAB® software togive students practice with computation applied to dynamical systems problems.

This textbook is intended for senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in pure and applied mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. Readers

should be comfortable with elementary differential equations andlinear algebra and should have had exposure to advanced calculus.

James D. Meiss is a Professor in the Department of AppliedMathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is a fellowof the American Physical Society. His work in dynamical systemsfocuses on Hamiltonian dynamics, the transition to chaos, and thetheory of transport.
