Bifurcation theory and catastrophe theory are two highlights in the study of dynamical systems. Another highlight is celestial mechanics, as found in EMS-3. The current volume builds on the basic material given in EMS 1 and can be considered as a continuation of it. The volume is a survey, intended for readers with some background in dynamical systems, thus aiming at a higher level than Arnol'd's famous little book, "Catastrophe Theory".

The authors are masters in fields of bifurcation theory and catastrophe theory Arnol'd is known for keeping the mathematics correct and avoiding non-rigorous applications Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
