Breakthroughs in handling nonlinear systems have had a tremendous impact throughout the sciences, allowing researchers to create more realistic models for a wide range of processes. This book, although written at an introductory level, covers some of the most exciting recent work, including soliton theory, nonlinear lattices, excitable media, perturbation theory, and the theory of quantum lattices. It will be a valuable guide for graduate students and researchers in physics, applied mathematics, biophysics, and engineering.

Review from previous edition 'The presentation in the book is based on concrete equations and the formulas are often derived from physical intuition'EMS
'..presents a suggestive panoramic view of the history and experimental motivation of nonlinear phenomena. The problems at the end of each chapter are a good training to get a better understanding of the topics and suggest new directions of research.....I recommend this book as a
reference-text for undergraduate students of last year as well as a basic book for an interdisciplinary P.H.D.course in natural sciences and engineering. The book is a basic one for all the bridge studies with biology as the biophysics and biocomputing, and,in particular, for the emerging area of
astrobiology.' MATH
