Abstract
To study the dynamics of a transformation f on a space X, we can try to conjugate f to a simpler model A: Y → Y via a homeomorphism φ: X → Y satisfying A ∘φ = φ ∘ f.
I specifically remember discussions among ourselves and with visitors about what is now known as nonlinear mathematics—truly a strange expression, for it is like saying “I will discuss nonelephant animals”.
S. Ulam (1909–1984)
