Lectures on nonlinear dynamics. Elementary introduction. Danilov Yu.A.

The basis of this textbook is lectures that an outstanding scientist, teacher, popularizer of science Yu.A. Danilov read at the chemical faculty of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, on "non -linear days for young" at the SSU named after N.G. Chernyshevsky, in MEPhI, as well as at universities of Western Europe. The manual outlines in detail discrete display and the theory of continuous systems, chaotic behavior, fractal theory and steppe laws, synergetics and ergodic theory. A distinctive feature of the course is the specificity (bringing the formulas to a species convenient for practical calculations) and an accurate presentation of the basic concepts usually given without definitions.

The book is intended for students and graduate students of physical, mathematical, biological and chemical specialties, as well as for everyone who is interested in the current state of the science of the behavior of complex systems of various nature (from physical to social, economic, etc. ).
