"Steven Strogatz is the best teacher I know. From his own course he has crystallized the perfect textbook for a first undergraduate course in non-linear dynamics, covering both continuous and discrete processes plus fractals, with wonderfully seductive examples and problem sets. The book would also serve well for higher level courses. I would love to teach out of it."

--Arthur T. Winfree, author of When Time Breaks Down

"Steven Strogatz's Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos is an exceptionally well written introduction to the modern theory of dynamical systems and differential equations, with many novel applications."

--Robert L. Devaney, author of A First Course in Chaotic Dynamical Systems
