This revised and updated second edition of a highly successful book is the only text at this level to embrace a universal approach to three major developments in classical physics; namely nonlinear waves, solitons and chaos. The authors now include new material on biology and laser theory, and go on to discuss important recent developments such as soliton metamorphosis. In general, it will be of value to final year undergraduates and beginning graduate students studying fluid dynamics,...

The authors now include new material on biology and laser theory, and go on to discuss important recent developments such as soliton metamorphosis. In general, it will be of value to final year undergraduates and beginning graduate students studying fluid dynamics, plasma physics and applied mathematics.
