Dynamics, Complexity and Time Series Analysis

Abstract

The aim of this text is to provide a linguistically accessible, but comprehensive introduction into a variety of topics in dynamical systems and its applications. Whilst preliminary knowledge of dynamical systems is useful, it is not essential and readers are only assumed to have familiarity with foundational undergraduate mathematics topics of calculus, linear algebra and rudimentary statistics. A variety of extended topics on recent publications and research activities in the field have been included in the last four chapters, which the interested reader may use as an introduction into further reading. A collection of exercises and questions both theoretical and computational are also included in this text.
