The box of nonlinear dynamics and chaos has grown greatly over the past few many years and is turning into increasingly more suitable in several disciplines. This publication provides a transparent and concise advent to the sphere of nonlinear dynamics and chaos, appropriate for graduate scholars in arithmetic, physics, chemistry, engineering, and in ordinary sciences generally. It offers an intensive and glossy advent to the ideas of Hamiltonian dynamical structures' concept combining in a accomplished method classical and quantum mechanical description. It covers a variety of themes often no longer present in related books. Motivations of the respective topics and a transparent presentation eases the certainty. The booklet relies on lectures on classical and quantum chaos held through the writer at Heidelberg collage. It includes routines and labored examples, which makes it perfect for an introductory direction for college students in addition to for researchers beginning to paintings within the field.

From a actual perspective we suggest a transformation of speed following Newton’s moment legislations F= dp , dt (1. 1. 1) the place the momentum p is mass occasions speed. If there is not any exterior strength and the movement happens at consistent pace one speaks of “kinematics”, while if there's a static equilibrium, within the easiest case of 0 pace, one speaks of “statics”. Chaos roots within the Greek notice τ o` χ αoς ´ and ability chaos in a feeling of starting or fundamental topic (unformed, empty).
