This book presents an introduction to the geometric theory of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. Many of the fundamental results are presented for asymptotically smooth dynamical systems that have applications to functional differential equations as well as classes of dissipative partial differential equations. However, as in the earlier edition, the major emphasis is on retarded functional differential equations. This updated version also contains much material on neutral functional differential equations. The results in the earlier edition on Morse-Smale systems for maps are extended to a class of semiflows, which include retarded functional differential equations and parabolic partial differential equations.pFrom the reviews of the second edition:ppThis book presents a contemporary geometric theory of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems where the major emphasis is on retarded functional-differential equations. ??? Each chapter contains some abstract theorems but the authors give some examples as well illustrating these general results and having interesting applications. ??? This interesting book will be useful for researchers working in this field and, due to numerous examples, also for mathematicians working in applications. (Sergei A. Vakulenko, Mathematical Reviews, 2004 j)pThe first book, like the present one, is to a large extent devoted to functional differential equations. ??? The present editions of chapters that appeared in the first book, Invariant sets and attractors, Functional differential equations on manifolds, The dimension of the attractor, Attractor sets as C1-manifolds, The Kupka-Smale theorem, Conley index in noncompact spaces, are up-dated and contain additional examples. As the first book of the authors, the present one will be of interest and will be useful to a broad group of readers.

In this edition, Leo Michels continues to offer a review of math concepts and basic chemical principles with an emphasis on the mathematical and conceptual skills needed for preparatory and general chemistry. The book is divided into frames, each of which contains questions and problems with answers that appear on the same page, allowing students to grasp each new idea before proceeding to more difficult material. The book also includes self-evaluation tests, which appear at the end of each unit with the answers appearing in the back of the book. Michels uses SI units and current abbreviations for measurements and addresses the calculator. This book works as a stand-alone text or as a supplement to a preparatory chemistry text such as Morris Hein and Susan Arena’s Foundations of College Chemistry, 10th and 7th Alternate Editions.

Mastering your PhD helps guide PhD students through their graduate student days. Filled with practical advice on getting started, communicating with your supervisor, staying the course, and planning for the future, this book is a handy guide for graduate students who need that extra bit of help getting started and making it through. Every year, thousands of students around the world embark on the long and difficult journey toward a PhD. Some of these students will make it through their program with flying colors. Others will experience difficulty getting to the end: some will sink and some will manage to swim barely. The doctoral years can be daunting. While mainly directed to PhD students in the sciences, the book’s scope is broad enough to encompass the obstacles and hurdles that almost all PhD students face at some point in their doctoral training. Who should read this book? Students of the physical and life sciences, computer science, math, and medicine thinking about entering a PhD program, doctoral students at the beginning of their research and any graduate student who is feeling frustrated and stuck. Its never too early or too late! A must for any student in natural science who is doing or is considering doing a PhD. Also, I strongly recommend PhD supervisors to read this book they will learn a lot. Henrik Stapelfeldt, Professor of Chemistry, Arhus Denmark At last, a book about graduate study that paints the big picture and that recognizes PhD work as a real job involving many of the same relationship and business issues that will be important to students throughout their careers. Outstanding! Lou Bloomfield, Professor of Physics, University of Virginia, USA
