内容説明

There is great current interest in nonlinear processes, and this book provides the necessary theory and methodology. The material in this book is applicable to weather systems, ocean currents, dye lasers and many other nonequilibrium systems. This textbook is suitable for use on graduate courses and for selfstudy aided by many physical chemical examples, and those interested in the book will include chemists, physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians.
