Books by Jerrold E. Marsden

This book presents core material in nonlinear analysis, offering working knowledge of manifolds, dynamical systems, tensors and differential forms. Coverage includes Hamiltonian mechanics, fluid mechanics, electromagnetism, plasma dynamics and control theory.

The text illustrates the physical background and motivation for some constructions used in recent mathematical and numerical work on the Navier- Stokes equations and on hyperbolic systems, so as to interest students in this at once beautiful and difficult subject.
