Chaos: Classical and Quantum
by Predrag Cvitanovic
Publisher: ChaosBook.org 2008
Number of pages: 813
Description:
The book is a self-contained graduate textbook on classical and quantum chaos. Your professor does not know this material, so you are on your own. We will teach you how to evaluate a determinant, take a logarithm–stuff like that.
