Nonlinear Physics Books: Recent Progress & Related Fields

[Euphemia]

Hi, all
Would you guys recommend some books on the subject of nonlinear physics?
And how is the recent progress about it and its related fields?
Thanks!

 

[Pythagorean]

Strogatz, Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos is a standard.

What specifically do you want to know?

What specifically do you want to know?

yeah, most areas of physics have linear and nonlinear theory

Non linear fluid mechanics?
Non linear elasticity?
Non linear electric circuits?
Non linear electric component theory?
Non linear optics
Non linear mechanical systems?

und so weiter

My apology!
Classical Dynamics, electron correlation and applied mathematics

 

[Studiot]

OK here's some more to add to the list

Applied Maths
Non linear Ordinary Differential Equations
Jordan and Smith

Oxford Applied maths series

Mathematical Methods for Engineers and Scientists
Linear and NonLinear

Kahn

Wiley

Classical Mechanics
Chaos in Dynamical Systems
Ott

Cambridge

Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics
Hilborn

This one also has some electronics applications.

Oxford

Elasticity
Non Linear Elastic Deformations

Ogden

Dover

As an engineer I found (the first edition of) the following book quite good with many nice diagrams. It was more or less standard reading at the department I graduated from:

Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos, Thompson & Steward, Wiley 2002 (http://books.google.dk/books?id=vQvu-5VPkmcC)
