Abstract
In this chapter, we present in the simplest possible manner a survey of some of the fundamental mathematical concepts and tools which are required for the qualitative analysis of the long-term behaviour of dynamical systems. A knowledge of the theory of linear differential equations is a pre-requisite for the comprehension of non-linear dynamics. The reader can find more detailed discussions in Chapters 5 and 6 of this book.
