Invitation to Dynamical Systems

Edward R. Scheinerman9780131850002, 0131850008

With this unique text, Scheinerman invites students from a wide range of backgrounds with limited technical prerequisites to explore the beauty and excitement of dynamical systems and of mathematics in general. The text is designed for students who want to continue exploring mathematics beyond linear algebra, but are not ready for highly abstract material. Rather than taking a dry theorem-proof-corollary-remark style, the text stresses the geometry, intuition, and appreciation of dynamical systems.
