Books by Brian Davies

This book presents elements of the theory of chaos in dynamical systems in a framework of theoretical understanding coupled with numerical and graphical experimentation. It describes the theory of fractals, focusing on the importance of scaling and ordinary differential equations.

This is a substantially updated, extended and reorganized third edition of an introductory text on the use of integral transforms. Emphasis is on the development of techniques and the connection between properties of transforms and the kind of problems for which they provide tools.

An exciting new way of teaching chaos in dynamical systems to undergraduates, using a combination of text and computer experiments.
