Introduces the aspects of the development of the modern theory of dynamics and simulation. This book discusses problems such as the nonlinear oscillator simulation carried out by Fermi, Pasta and Ulam at Los Alamos in the 1940s, the seminal discoveries by Lorentz at MIT in the early 1950s, and the general problems of computability.

Synopsis

Intended for a broad audience of scientifically literate readers, this book show how the modern theory of dynamics and simulation developed alongside the modern electronic computer. It shows how many of the new and now standard techniques of nonlinear modeling and numerical simulation arose in response to specific problems. No other text focuses so tightly and covers so completely one specific, pernicious problem at the heart of dynamics.
