Allan Peterson is a co-author of this textbook on difference equations. In addition to
the topics covered in the first edition of this book, included is phase plane analysis
on linear systems, the study of periodic systems (Floquet Theory), Sarkovskii's theorem,
and an appendix that illustrates how the technical computing system Mathematica can be
used to assist in many of the computations that one encounters in the study of
difference equations. For more information see Allan Peterson's webpage or Harcourt/Academic Press's webpage for this book .
