New Edition: The Nonlinear Workbook (6th Edition)
The Nonlinear Workbook provides a comprehensive treatment of all the techniques in nonlinear dynamics together with C++, Java and SymbolicC++ implementations. The book not only covers the theoretical aspects of the topics but also provides the practical tools. To understand the material, more than 100 worked out examples and 150 ready to run programs are included. New topics added to the fifth edition are Langton's ant, chaotic data communication, self-controlling feedback, differential forms and optimization, T-norms and T-conorms with applications.
