This introductory textbook for graduate students in biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics provides a systematic account of the basic science common to these diverse areas. This book provides a careful pedagogical motivation of key concepts, discusses why diverse nonequilibrium systems often show similar patterns and dynamics, and gives a balanced discussion of the role of experiments, simulation, and analytics. It contains numerous worked examples and over 150 exercises. This book will also interest scientists who want to learn about the experiments, simulations, and theory that explain how complex patterns form in sustained nonequilibrium systems. 517 3 $aPattern Formation & Dynamics in Nonequilibrium Systems 606 $aPattern formation (Physical sciences) 615 0$aPattern formation (Physical sciences) 676 $a500.201185 700 $aCross$b Michael$g(Michael Clifford),$01552606 702 $aGreenside$b Henry 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777903103321 996 $aPattern formation and dynamics in nonequilibrium systems$93812619 997 $aUNINA
