This book provides a nice introduction to the theory of dynamical systems. The first chapter starts with the discussion of examples which play a fundamental role. Some of these examples can be traced back to physical situations. The author explains some of the fundamental ideas of the modern theory of dynamical systems. He explains carefully why the behaviour of individual solutions is less important than the knowledge of the behaviour of most solutions. . . . Altogether the book is carefully written, the main ideas are well motivated and presented. . . . The book is suited for an introductory course in dynamical systems . . ."--Signa
