Analysis and Simulation of Chaotic Systems is a text designed to be used at the graduate level in applied mathematics for students from mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry and biology. The book can be used as a stand-alone text for a full year course or it can be heavily supplemented with material of more mathematical, more engineering or more scientific nature. Computations and computer simulations are used throughout this text to illustrate phenomena discussed and to supply readers with probes to use on new problems.

Based on a course on advanced topics in differential equations given at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, this book describes aspects of mathematical modeling, analysis, computer simulation, and visualization in the mathematical sciences and engineering that involve singular perturbations.

A basic model in population age structure is studied and then applied and extended to several population phenomena.

For the most part, derivations are based on perturbation methods, and the majority of the text is devoted to careful derivations of implicit function theorems, the method of averaging, and quasi-static state approximation methods.

This book develops methods for describing random dynamical systems, and it illustrats how the methods can be used in a variety of applications. Appeals to researchers and graduate students who require tools to investigate stochastic systems.

The result of lectures given by the authors at New York University, the University of Utah, and Michigan State University, the material is written for students who have had only one term of calculus, but it contains material that can be used in modeling courses in applied mathematics at all levels through early graduate courses.

Devoted to local and global analysis of weakly connected systems with applications to neurosciences, this book uses bifurcation theory and canonical models as the major tools of analysis.

This introduction to mathematical methods that are useful for studying population phenomena is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and will be accessible to scientists who do not have a strong mathematics background. Exercises illustrate material in the text and also deal with models more advanced than those derived and studied in the text.
