:) That's a good one, Devaney was more my era!
- perfect_wave 8y agoDevaney was my advisor's advisor when he did he his PhD at BU. I took a course on discrete dynamics and chaos and wrote my senior year thesis on bifurcation diagrams. We used this textbook by Devaney: https://www.amazon.com/First-Course-Chaotic-Dynamical-Systems/dp/0201554062 https://www.amazon.com/First-Course-Chaotic-Dynamical-System... Was absolutely fascinated by the class. One of my favorites from undergrad.
- eightorbit 8y agoI had his Chaotic Dynamical Systems book checked out from the library for years and carried it everywhere. I should find a copy, what a great book! I wonder if there's a good sort of "postmortem" on what happened to NLD and Chaos. It seems like everyone said, "Ok, that's a thing and it explains a lot but we can't do anything with it."
- cmehdy 8y agoNonlinear systems by Hassan K. Khalil (ISBN 978-0130673893) is also worth it to solidify the underlying maths!
