The framework of 'symmetry' provides an important route between the abstract theory and experimental observations, especially for the study of pattern formation in physical systems. The book applies symmetry methods to dynamical systems, focusing on bifurcation and chaos theory. It's exposition is organized around a wide variety of applications ranging from theoretical physics to evolutionary biology.
