I'm interested in buying this book However, being a Springer book, it's a bit on the pricey side, although towards the more affordable end of pricey for Springer. Does anyone think it's worth the price?

so far i have found no exceptions to the rule that anything by v.i.arnol'd is valuable. actually you can browse it slightly on amazon.

Well, I've taken the plunge and ordered it. I read his books on topolgical methods in hydrodynamics and mathematical methods in classical mechanics and was very impressed with his writing style and ability to educate. I've not read anything by him with a more pure mathematical bent.
 
i have his methoids of mathematical physics but have not read it, and his ode book which i like a lot, and have browsed a book on singularities as applied to diff eq. all are excellent.
