"This book will be a great contribution to the subject of mathematical neurophysiology."
-- Richard Fitzhugh, former researcher, Laboratory of Biophysics, National Institutes of Health

In order to model neuronal behavior or to interpret the results of modeling studies, neuroscientists must call upon methods of nonlinear dynamics. This book offers an introduction to nonlinear dynamical systems theory for researchers and graduate students in neuroscience. It also provides an overview of neuroscience for mathematicians who want to learn the basic facts of electrophysiology.
