This author is a retired professor of Mathematics who founded a publishing house with the aim of publishing scientific books in Dutch. Their endeavor seeks to make mathematics more accessible to a wider audience and to facilitate its understanding in one's native language. Their work focuses on promoting mathematics among non-mathematicians. This publishing house concentrates on scientific publications, particularly in the field of mathematics.
The biography highlights the unique achievements of a prominent French mathematician and physicist, offering insights into his contributions to science. It also delves into his interactions with other notable scientists, providing a broader context of his influence and relationships within the scientific community. This first English biography presents a comprehensive view of his life and work, making it an engaging read for those interested in the history of science.
For lecture courses that cover the classical theory of nonlinear differential equations associated with Poincare and Lyapunov and introduce the student to the ideas of bifurcation theory and chaos, this text is ideal. Its excellent pedagogical style typically consists of an insightful overview followed by theorems, illustrative examples, and exercises.
This workbook focuses on perturbation theory and its applications in natural and engineering sciences. It covers boundary layer theory, multi-timescale phenomena, and nonlinear equations, providing analysis, examples, and advanced problems. Ideal for senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students, it includes illustrations and exercises for enhanced understanding.
