Download or read book Fluids and Plasmas: Geometry and Dynamics written by Jerrold E. Marsden and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1984 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The organizing committee envisioned bringing together three groups of people working on the following topics in fluid and plasma dynamics: 1. Geometric aspects : Hamiltonian structures, perturbation theory and nonlinear stability by variational methods, 2) Analytical and numerical methods: contour dynamics, spectral methods, and functional analytic techniques, 3) Dynamical systems aspects: experimental and numerical methods, bifurcation theory, and chaos."- introduction
