Michel Demazure was university professor in mathematics from 1967, first at the Université Paris-Sud (1967-1976) and then at Ecole Polytechnique (1976-1999). From 1991 to 1998 he was executive director Of the Palais de la découverte in Paris. In 1998, he was appointed chairman of the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, the world famous science complex in La Villette, Paris. His original research area is algebraic geometry in which he published several books and numerous articles. Later he worked on the interface of mathematics and computer science.

Résumé
Based on a lecture course at the Ecole Polytechnique (Paris), this text gives a rigorous introduction to many of the key ideas in nonlinear analysis, dynamical systems and bifurcation theory including catastrophe theory. Wherever appropriate it emphasizes a geometrical or coordinate-free approach which allows a clear focus on the essential mathematical structures. Taking a unified view, it brings out features common to different branches of the subject while giving ample references for more advanced or technical developments.
