Elements of Applied Bifurcation Theory

January 27, 2011 Posted by

The book is a fine addition to the dynamical systems literature.This is a book on nonlinear dynamical systems and their bifurcations under parameter variation. It provides a reader with a solid basis in dynamical systems theory, as well as explicit procedures for application of general mathematical results to particular problems. Special attention is given to efficient numerical implementations of the developed techniques. Several examples from recent research papers are used as illustrations. The book is designed for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in applied mathematics, as well as for Ph.D. students and researchers in physics, biology, engineering, and economics who use dynamical systems as model tools in their studies. A moderate mathematical background is assumed, and whenever possible, only elementary mathematical tools are used. This new edition preserves the structure of the first edition, while updating the context to incorporate recent theoretical developments, in particular, new and improved numerical methods for bifurcation analysis. Reviews of the first edition: I know of no other book that so clearly explains the basic phenomena of bifurcation theory. Math Reviews The book is a fine addition to the dynamical systems literature. It is good to see, in our modern rush to quick publication, that we, as a mathematical community, still have time to bring together, and in such a readable and considered form, the important results on our subject.

The Definitive Guide to How Computers Do Math: Featuring the Virtual D

January 26, 2011 Posted by

The Basics of Computer Arithmetic Made Enjoyable and Accessible-with a Special Program Included for Hands-on LearningbrbrThe combination of this book and its associated virtual computer is fantastic! Experience over the last fifty years has shown me that there’s only one way to truly understand how computers work; and that is to learn one computer and its instruction set-no matter how simple or primitive-from the ground up. Once you fully comprehend how that simple computer functions, you can easily extrapolate to more complex machines.br-Fred Hudson, retired engineer/scientistbrbrThis book-along with the virtual DIY Calculator-is an incredibly useful teaching and learning tool. The interesting trivia nuggets keep you turning the pages to see what’s next. Students will have so much fun reading the text and performing the labs that they won’t even realize they are learning.br-Michael Haghighi, Chairperson of the Business and Computer Information Systems Division, Calhoun Community College, AlabamabrbrAt last, a book that presents an innovative approach to the teaching of computer architecture. Written with authority and verve, witty, superbly illustrated, and enhanced with many laboratory exercises, this book is a must for students and teachers alike.br-Dr. Albert Koelmans, Lecturer in Computer Engineering, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, and the 2003 recipient of the EASIT-Eng. Gold Award for Innovative Teaching in Computer EngineeringbrbrPacked with nuggets of information and tidbits of trivia, How Computers Do Math provides an incredibly fun and interesting introduction to the way in which computers perform their magic in general and math in particular. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a virtual computer/calculator called the DIY Calculator, and the book’s step-by-step interactive laboratories guide you in the creation of a simple program to run on your DIY Calculator.brbrHow Computers Do Math can be enjoyed by non-technical @4ýp£× ¾Û€
