<br/><br/> Widely considered one of the classic books on nonlinear oscillators, this comprehensive volume offers a uniquely detailed and thorough discussion of an important branch of mathematics. Indeed, for mathematicians seeking the physical foundations of the theory of nonlinear oscillations, it is a veritable encyclopedia. Translated from the Russian by F. Immirzi, this edition is especially faithful to the flavor and detail of the original work; the translation has been further edited and abridged by Professor W. Fishwick for maximum clarity and usefulness. In addition, there are many practical examples of the most detailed use of the theory, and although the many electrical circuits investigated use thermionic vacuum tubes rather than transistors, the methods demonstrated are applicable to all similar types of equations. --From cover.
