The Genesis of Simulation in Dynamics

By Thomas P. Weissert

Intended for a broad audience of scientifically literate readers, this book show how the modern theory of dynamics and simulation developed alongside the modern electronic computer. It shows how many of the new and now standard techniques of nonlinear modeling and numerical simulation arose in response to specific problems. No other text focuses so tightly and covers so completely one specific, pernicious problem at the heart of dynamics.
