Autorenporträt

Robert L. Devaney is currently Professor of Mathematics at Boston University. He received his PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in under the direction of Stephen Smale. He taught at Northwestern University and Tufts University before coming to Boston University in 1980. His main area of research is dynamical systems, primarily complex analytic dynamics, but also including more general ideas about chaotic dynamical systems. Lately, he has become intrigued with the incredibly rich topological aspects of dynamics, including such things as indecomposable continua, Sierpinski curves, and Cantor bouquets. He is also the author of A First Course in Chaotic Dynamical Systems, Second Edition, published by CRC Press.
