An Introduction to Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics Irving R. Epstein (Helena Rubinstein Professor of Chemistry Provost, Helena Rubinstein Professor of Chemistry Provost, Brandeis University)

An Introduction to Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics By Irving R. Epstein (Helena Rubinstein Professor of Chemistry Provost, Helena Rubinstein Professor of Chemistry Provost, Brandeis University)

Summary

Assuming no more than an undergraduate knowledge of chemistry, the authors take the reader through the necessary mathematical and theoretical background of oscillating reactions, chaos and chemical waves to advanced topics of current research interest in chemical systems, including applications biology and polymers. Demonstrations and laboratory experiments are also presented.

An Introduction to Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics Reviews

'A beginner in any discipline could use it for research inspiration and as a starting point....The last chapter is a delightful treatment of the fascinating realm of mixing processes. Chemical recipes are given in the appendixes...It is for any chemist,physicist,biologist, or mathmatician, from the undergradute to the professor, who wishes to be introduced to this beautiful area' Chemical Intelligencer
