Complex Dynamics and Morphogenesis [E-Book] : An Introduction to Nonlinear Science / by Chaouqi Misbah.
This book offers an introduction to the physics of nonlinear phenomena through two complementary approaches: bifurcation theory and catastrophe theory. Readers will be gradually introduced to the language and formalisms of nonlinear sciences, which constitute the framework to describe complex system...
