Describing how pattern formation processes occur and how they can be modeled, this inter-disciplinary book is ideal for graduate courses. It is also a useful reference in a number of disciplines, including condensed matter science, nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, chemical biophysics, materials science, and engineering.
