Over the last four decades there has been extensive development in the
theory of dynamical systems. This book aims at a wide audience where the
first four chapters have been used for an undergraduate course in
Dynamical Systems. Material from the last two chapters and from the
appendices has been used quite a lot for master and PhD courses. All
chapters are concluded by an exercise section. The book is also directed
towards researchers, where one of the challenges is to help applied
researchers acquire background for a better understanding of the data
that computer simulation or experiment may provide them with the
development of the theory.
