This renewal of interest, both in research and teaching, has led to the establishment of the series: Texts in Applied Mathematics ( TAM). The development of new courses is a natural consequence of a high level of excitement on the research frontier as newer techniques, such as numerical and symbolic computer systems, dynamical systems, and chaos, mix with and reinforce the traditional methods of applied mathematics. Thus, the purpose of this textbook series is to meet the current and future needs of these advances and encourage the teaching of new courses. TAM will publish textbooks suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses, and will complement the Applied Mathematical Sciences (AMS) series, which will focus on advanced textbooks and research level monographs. About the Authors Daniel Kaplan specializes in the analysis of data using techniques motivated by nonlinear dynamics. His primary interest is in the interpretation of irregular physiological rhythms, but the methods he has developed have been used in geo­ physics, economics, marine ecology, and other fields. He joined McGill in 1991, after receiving his Ph.D from Harvard University and working at MIT. His un­ dergraduate studies were completed at Swarthmore College. He has worked with several instrumentation companies to develop novel types of medical monitors. Leon Glass is one of the pioneers ofwhat has come to be called chaos theory, specializing in applications to medicine and biology. He has worked in areas as diverse as physical chemistry, visual perception, and cardiology, and is one of the originators of the concept of "dynamical disease." He has been a professor at McGill University in Montreal since 1975, and has worked at the University of Rochester, the University of California in San Diego, and Harvard University. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago and did postdoctoral work at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Chicago. Preface This book is about dynamics-the mathematics of how things change in time. The universe around us presents a kaleidoscope of quantities that vary with time, ranging from the extragalactic pulsation of quasars to the fluctuations in sunspot activity on our sun; from the changing outdoor temperature associated with the four seasons to the daily temperature fluctuations in our bodies; from the incidence of infectious diseases such as measles to the tumultuous trend of stock prices. Since 1984, some of the vocabulary of dynamics-such as chaos, fractals, and nonlinear-has evolved from abstruse terminology to a part of common lan­ guage. In addition to a large technical scientific literature, the subjects these terms cover are the focus of many popular articles, books, and even novels. These pop­ ularizations have presented "chaos theory" as a scientific revolution. While this may be journalistic hyperbole, there is little question that many of the important concepts involved in modem dynamics-global multistability, local stability, sen­ sitive dependence on initial conditions, attractors-are highly relevant to many areas of study including biology, engineering, medicine, ecology, economics, and astronomy. X PREFACE This book presents the main concepts and applications of nonlinear dy­ namics at an elementary level. The text is based on a one-semester undergraduate course that has been offered since 1975 at McGill University and that has been constantly updated to keep up with current developments. Most of the students enrolled in the course are studying biological sciences and have completed a year of calculus with no intention to study further mathematics. Since the main concepts of nonlinear dynamics are largely accessible using only elementary ar­ guments, students are able to understand the mathematics and successfully carry out computations. The exciting nature and modernity of the concepts and the graphics are further stimuli that motivate students. Mathematical developments since the mid 1970's have shown that many interesting phenomena can arise in simple finite-difference equations. These are introduced in Chapter 1, where the student is initiated into three important mathematical themes of the course: local stability analysis, global multistability, and problem solving using both an algebraic and a geometric approach. The graphical iteration of one-dimensional, finite-difference equations, combined with the analysis ofthe local stability ofsteady states, provides two complementary views of the same problem. The concept of chaos is introduced as soon as possible, after the student is able graphically to iterate a one-dimensional, finite-difference equation, and understands the concept of stability. For most students, this is the first exposure to mathematics from the twentieth century! From the instructor's point of view, this topic offers the opportunity to refresh students' memory and skills in differential calculus. Since some students take this course several years after studying geometry and calculus, some skills have become rusty. Appendix A reviews important functions such as the Hill function, the Gaussian distribution, and the conic sections. Many exercises that can help in solidifying geometry and calculus skills are included in Appendix A. Chapters 2 and 3 continue the study of discrete-time systems. Networks and cellular automata (Chapter 2) are important both from a conceptual and technical perspective, and because of their relevance to computers.

The correspondingly increased dialog between the disciplines has led to the establishment of the series: Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics. The purpose of this series is to meet the current and future needs for the interaction between various science and technology areas on the one hand and mathematics on the other. This is done, firstly, by encouragng the ways that that mathematics may be applied in traditional areas, as well as point towards new and innovative areas of applications; and, secondly, by encouraging other scientific disciplines to engage in a dialog with mathematicians outlining their problems to both access new methods and suggest innovative developments within mathematics itself. The series will consist of monographs and high-level texts from researchers working on the interplay between mathematics and other fields of science and technology.

  • 40 Years of Hikes in the Adirondacks Leon Glass
    40 Years of Hikes in the Adirondacks Leon Glass Born in 1943 in Brooklyn, New York in the shadow of Ebbett’s field, I am perhaps an unlikely person to find himself bushwacking through the blowdown near the summit of Cliff almost 60 years later on the way to my 46th high peak. This is a short essay being sent to the Historian of the 46ers explaining my journey. As a child, I spent many summers with my family in Northern Vermont, mostly swimming in Lake Champlain, but also taking a few hikes to go berry picking and up Eagle Mountain near Milton, Vermont. During my high school days in Erasmus Hall, I started taking music lessons on the French horn, and this would play a surprising role in my hiking career. I guess in the summer of 1960, after my first year in Brooklyn College, I got a job as a waiter in Camp Minnowbrook, which was only accessible by boat ride from the town of Lake Placid. Minnowbrook was a music and arts camp, and waiters had to take an audition for the privilege of serving the wealthy campers who mostly hailed from the posher suburbs of New York City. The director of Camp Minnowbrook, Lothar Epstein was an immigrant from Europe, and organized an active hiking program to keep his musicians and dancers fit. I remember the hiking rules from those days pretty clearly since they seem to be quite different from current norms. Always wear cotton next to the skin and NEVER drink water while hiking since that would cause cramps.
