Nonlinear Mathematics and its Applications: Proceedings of the EPSRC Postgraduate Spring School in Applied Nonlinear Mathematics, University of Surrey, 1995

The papers in this volume address current topics of research in nonlinear mathematics, including nonlinear dynamics with application to fluid mechanics, boundary layer transition, driven oscillators and waves. There are also papers on problems in nonlinear elasticity and mathematical biology. The book forms a coherent and accessible account of recent advances in nonlinear mathematics for students in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering.

In 1995 a spring school was organised to introduce postgraduate students to current topics in applied nonlinear mathematics; this volume contains the bulk of the lectures given there, by a team of internationally distinguished scientists.The majority of the courses are in the area of nonlinear dynamics with application to fluid mechanics, boundary layer transition, driven oscillators and waves. However, there are also lectures considering problems in nonlinear elasticity and mathematical biology.
