For some years now, I have been running a senior-level course in Dynamical Systems, a branch of pure mathematics that focuses on the theory underlying what it means to model phenomena mathematically. I designed this course and over the years have developed quite an extensive set of notes. These notes are now a text, to be released by Oxford University Press in August of 2018. The text is:
A Modern Introduction to Dynamical Systems
2018: Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0198743286
ISBN-10: 0198743289
