"First edition published 2000"--T.p. verso.

Presenting the story of Poincare's work, this book traces the history of attempts to solve the problems of celestial mechanics posed in Isaac Newton's "Principia" in 1686. It introduces the people whose ideas led to the field called nonlinear dynamics.

Presents an account of two pillars of the techniques of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory: stable and chaotic behavior. This title discusses cases in which N-body motions are stable, covering topics such as Hamiltonian systems, the (Moser) twist theorem, and aspects of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory.

This is a reference guide to the most important aspects of current Swedish as it is used by native speakers. It presents a fresh and accessible description of the language, focusing on the real patterns of use in today's Swedish.

Numerous exercises, some of which require nontrivial algebraic manipulations and computer work, convey the important analytical underpinnings of problems in dynamical systems and help readers develop an intuitive feel for the properties involved.

Unrivalled support: the student book offers complete support for the mandatory units, including those for the pathways, and valuable sector information and skills for all learners working towards a Certificate, Subsidiary Diploma, Diploma or Extended Diploma. Help learners achieve their potential: comprehensive assessment activities, with grading tips for pass, merit and distinction to encourage best practice, independent learning and the development of specialist media skills. Edexcels Assignment tips: written and reviewed by experts in the BTEC team, these give invaluable advice on working towards higher grades for all assignments. Bring the media industry to the classroom: WorkSpace case studies take your learners into the real world of work, showing them how they can apply their knowledge in a real-life context. Develop the professionals of the future: the focus on the pathways helps learners to develop the important skills and understanding of the media industry whether they become journalists, games developers, media technicians or digital specialists for example.

Turbulence pervades our world, from weather patterns to the air entering our lungs. This book describes methods that reveal its structures and dynamics. Building on the existence of coherent structures - recurrent patterns - in turbulent flows, it describes mathematical methods that reduce the governing (Navier-Stokes) equations to simpler forms that can be understood more easily. This second edition contains a new chapter on the balanced proper orthogonal decomposition: a method derived from control theory that is especially useful for flows equipped with sensors and actuators. It also reviews relevant work carried out since 1995. The book is ideal for engineering, physical science and mathematics researchers working in fluid dynamics and other areas in which coherent patterns emerge.

With its succinct, focussed and easy-to-follow approach covering both AS and A2, Revision Express is the fast and effective route to exam success. This new edition has been fully revised and updated for the new A-levels.
