Description
Summary: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 & biological processes, including the regulation of the heart, these oscillations are being studied by a diverse group across the sciences. This text provides an introduction to nonlinear chemical dynamics written specifically for chemists. It covers oscillating reactions, chaos, & chemical pattern formation, & includes numerous practical suggestions on reactor design, data analysis, & computer simulations. Assuming only an undergraduate knowledge of chemistry, the work is an ideal starting point for research in the field.
