Lukas: This book is really readable and gives a solid introduction to chaos and nonlinear dynamics.

Dirk Bullock: I like this book. It is intuitive and not too rigorous. There are pictures and interesting examples to help the reader understand the subject. I now have a better understanding of convection rolls and chemical oscillators. However, this book seemed trivial after reading. I do not foresee myself using non-linear dynamics or chaos in any applications.

Fernando: Es lo que esperaba, el libro a pesar de ser edición de India tiene el contenido de la versión americana pero a un precio inmejorable, el papel un poco delgado peeo por el precio no puedo pedir nada más.

John Paul Windust: I am using it in a class right now, only up to chapter 6 and about halfway through the quarter. The book is easy to read. I'm more used to more terse writing in other math books that you have to read over and over, so this is a nice change from that. Questions are in line with the content of the text. The topic is more interesting than I expected, and that is because the book is so straightforward—tip of the hat to Strogatz.

EM: Juiste druk, snelle bezorging, via Amazon zijn boeken soms sneller leverbaar dan de standaard studieboeken-leverancier.

saugata giri: simply blown away by the wonderful way in thich the writer takes us through this very difficult subject. Its a wonderful buy, and really woth it.

Mark Saroufim: In the same way that Machine Learning helps you frame problems in the real world as data problems where you need to figure out what your label is given your input, this book was transformational to how I see the world around me.

At a high level you can describe physical phenomena around you using differential equations, many books do this already by showing you worked out examples or will show you techniques for how to solve differential equations without talking about the equations themselves too much. This book is different in that it helps you refine your intuition to figure out which differential equations would describe some physical process around you, how to visualize and gain intuition around how those differential equations work and finally help you categorize the complexity of different kinds of differential equations and how to go about solving them in a tractable way.

Now I see differential equations around me all the time, it's kinda weird but I like it.

Ray: An absolute masterpiece. All the knowledge one would really need to get started is Calculus. Well, to fully appreciate this book and learn from it, having some experience in ordinary differential equations and some rudimentary analysis is a huge plus. I say this because this book trades depth for accessibility, that is, in order for it to be widely comprehensive, it tends to only scratch the surface on most topics. However, with some basic experience in the previously mentioned subjects, one could understand the material at a deeper level.

The exercises are wonderful, and I encourage anyone to learn XPP to visualize many of the systems encountered. XPP a piece of software written by G. Bard Ermentrout in which you can plot bifurcation diagrams, solutions to systems, phase diagrams, etc (although ancient, there is a plethora of information and tutorial webpages on his site). You can also use Matlab (with Mathcont), but XPP is more straightforward (a bit janky) and FREE.

Whether you identify as pure, applied, both or none, I highly recommend any curious academic to go through this book.

JRS118JRS118: This book provides a means to expressing in art mathematical formulas that are bound in the language of numbers and the grammatical propositions they demonstrate with symbols like , (subtract, divide, multiply etc.) I couldn't progress in my thinking about theories like "What is gravity" until I got rid of notebooks. Doing art with sculpture and light, and flowing water helped change the number patterns into something else that I could use to think. Art becomes the platform for thinking. Music also helps suspend the components of a formula while other parts of the brain sort and assess the theory to raise it all to a level of understanding. The photos demonstrate an electromagnetic field that I dismantled. The fluorescent light sets off the alarm on a gauss meter it is so strong . The metal sink would interact with the water and deposit minerals extracted onto the surface of the sink. The application of a barrier that is non metallic stopped the electromagnet field from interacting with the water. The earth is a salt solution. It behaves like a battery and a sound wave through the axis of the earth may be what interacts with a gear driven spiral to turn the earth. When the sun...
