This text is a high-level introduction to the modern theory of dynamical
systems; an analysis-based, pure mathematics course textbook in the
basic tools, techniques, theory and development of both the abstract and
the practical notions of mathematical modelling, using both discrete and
continuous concepts and examples comprising what may be called the
modern theory of dynamics.
Prerequisite knowledge is restricted to calculus, linear algebra and
basic differential equations, and all higher-level analysis, geometry
and algebra is introduced as needed within the text. Following this text
from start to finish will provide the careful reader with the tools,
vocabulary and conceptual foundation necessary to continue in further
self-study and begin to explore current areas of active research in
dynamical systems.
