Description: An Introduction to Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics by John A. Pojman, Irving R. Epstein Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The authors take the reader through the 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. Publisher Description Just a few decades ago, chemical oscillations were thought to be exotic reactions of only theoretical interest. Now known to govern an array of physical and biological processes, including the regulation of the heart, these oscillations are being studied by a diverse group across the sciences. This book is the first introduction to nonlinear chemical dynamics written specifically for chemists. It covers oscillating reactions, chaos, and chemical pattern formation,and includes numerous practical suggestions on reactor design, data analysis, and computer simulations. Assuming only an undergraduate knowledge of chemistry, the book is an ideal starting point forresearch in the field. The book begins with a brief history of nonlinear chemical dynamics and a review of the basic mathematics and chemistry. The authors then provide an extensive overview of nonlinear dynamics, starting with the flow reactor and moving on to a detailed discussion of chemical oscillators. Throughout the authors emphasize the chemical mechanistic basis for self-organization. The overview is followed by a series of chapters on more advanced topics, including complexoscillations, biological systems, polymers, interactions between fields and waves, and Turing patterns. Underscoring the hands-on nature of the material, the book concludes with a series of classroom-testeddemonstrations and experiments appropriate for an undergraduate laboratory. Author Biography IRVING EPSTEIN, Professor of Educational Studies at Illinois Wesleyan University, has published two edited volumes, Chinese Education: Problems, Policies, and Prospects (1991) and Recapturing the Personal: Essays on Education and Embodied Knowledge in Comparative Perspective (2007), and served as an associate editor of the Comparative Education Review from 1988-1998. His interests include Asian education, educational polities involving street children, and issues of social theory.
