Description

Book Synopsis
Provides a mathematical treatment of the introduction to qualitative differential equations and discrete dynamical systems. The treatment includes theoretical proofs, methods of calculation, and applications. The two parts of the book can be covered independently in one semester each or combined together into a year long course.

Trade Review
This is an appealing and readable introduction to dynamical systems that would serve the needs of a variety of courses or support self-study." - William J. Satzer, MAA Reviews
