Abstract
This Chapter deals with the definition of a nonlinear dynamical system, the characterizations of its properties, the qualitative and quantitative tools for detecting them, the governing mathematical equations (independently of their solvability) and the consequent engineering pitfall. It is conceived as a bird’s eye introduction of Nonlinear Dynamics topics.
