Abraham R., Shaw C.D. Dynamics: The Geometry of Behavior

Addison-Wesley, 1992. — 642 p. — (Studies in Nonlinearity). — ISBN: 0-20156-717-2.The book shows a new way to learn a new mathematics - it is a visual tour that's accessible to a wide range of academic levels.During the Renaissance, algebra was resumed from Near Eastern sources, and geometry from the
Greek. Scholalrs of the time became familiar with classical mathematics. When calculus was born
in 1665, the new ideas spread quickly through the intellectual circles of Europe. Our history shows
the importance of the diffusion of these mathematical ideas, and their effects upon the subsequent
development of the sciences and technology.
