I have been using the text for the last year or so. My familiarity with dynamical systems/non linear dynamics is over eight years now. I use this text as a reference for quick look-up on some of the more elementary techniques. Explanations are scarce and insufficient. Some minor inaccuracies are present, but can be easily disregarded if you are not particularly credulous/naive. You will have to consider Strogatz or J M T Thompson/H B Stewart texts if you want to understand what's happening physically. Or Nayfeh's body of texts on nonlinear physical systems for numerical techniques in simulating such systems or Phillip Holmes' and others for mathematical theory or geometric topology. But I love the book for its easily accessible presentation format for students and the succinctness of its prose. This book is certainly not for people from the mathematical side of dynamical systems, but great for undergrad or beginning grad level students in engineering or physics. This is mostly a cookbook, so don't expect brilliant flavors, just that you can put a meal on the table everyday.

This introduction to dynamical systems theory guides readers through theory via example and the graphical MATLAB interface; the SIMULINK accessory is used to simulate real-world dynamical processes. Examples included are from mechanics, electrical circuits, economics, population dynamics, epidemiology, nonlinear optics, materials science and neural networks. The book contains over 330 illustrations, 300 examples, and exercises with solutions.
