The price is estimated because at the time of ordering we do not know what conversion rates will apply to HUF / product currency when the book arrives. In case HUF is weaker, the price increases slightly, in case HUF is stronger, the price goes lower slightly.

Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This monograph explores the dynamics in the particular but very important and significant case of quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems, or integrable systems slightly perturbed by other forces. With both analytic and numerical methods, the book studies several of these systems - such as the hydrogen atom and the solar system, with the associated Arnold web - through modern tools such as the frequency-modified Fourier transform, wavelets, and the frequency-modulation indicator. Meanwhile, it draws heavily on the more standard KAM and Nekhoroshev theorems.
Geography of Order and Chaos in Mechanics contains many figures that illuminate its concepts in novel ways, but perhaps its most useful feature is its inclusion of software to reproduce the various numerical experiments. The graphical user interfaces of five supplied MATLAB programs allows readers without any knowledge of computer programming to visualize and experiment with the distribution of order, chaos and resonances in various Hamiltonian systems.
This monograph will be a valuable resource for professional researchers and certain advanced undergraduate students in mathematics and physics, as well as an exceptional reference for PhD students with an interest in perturbation theory.
The Second Edition includes a new chapter on theoretical and numerical results in the study of the solar system's (in)stability obtained since publication of the First Edition, clarifying the topological mechanism that causes the sudden increase in Mercury's eccentricity. An updated version of the companion software is also provided, which contains new features and better Graphical User Interfaces. Thanks to the compiled versions, all the software can be used even if the user does not have access to a MATLAB installation.
