Features: This book is about dynamics -- the mathematics of how things change in time. The universe around us presents a kaleidoscope of quantities that vary with time, ranging from the extragalactic pulsation of quasars to the fluctuations in sunspot activity on our sun; from the changing outdoor temperature associated with the four seasons to the daily temperature fluctuations in our bodies; from the incidence of infectious diseases such as measles to the tumultuous trend of stock prices.
