Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamics of physical, chemical, biological or fluid systems generally must be described by nonlinear models, whose detailed mathematical solutions are not obtainable. To understand some aspects of such dynamics, various complementary methods and viewpoints are of crucial importance. The presentation and style is intended to stimulate the reader's imagination to apply these methods to a host of problems and situations.
