Bücher von Jerrold E. Marsden

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.

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.

Specific examples and applications show how the theory works, backed by up-to-date techniques, all of which make the text accessible to a wide variety of readers, especially senior undergraduates and graduates in mathematics, physics and engineering.
