This book is the testimony of a physical scientist whose language is singular perturbation analysis. Classical mathematical notions, such as matched asymptotic expansions, projections of large dynamical systems onto small center manifolds, and modulation theory of oscillations based either on multiple scales or on averaging/transformation theory, are included. The narratives of these topics are carried by physical examples: Let's say that the moment when we ``see'' how a mathematical pattern fits a physical problem is like ``hitting the ball.'' Yes, we want to hit the ball. But a powerful stroke includes the follow-through. One intention of this book is to ... Read more

Reviews for Singular Perturbation in the Physical Sciences
In all, this book is a valuable completion to the literature on singular perturbations. It might be the first reference to read but also a good auxiliary in understanding more specialized books or papers. -Vladimir Rasvan, Zentralblatt MATH This is a lucid textbook written in an easy style. The book will be useful to ... Read more
