From the Preface to the First Edition: “We only assume a little general mathematical knowledge on the part of the reader, let us say roughly the first two courses of a university program; for example, familiarity with the textbook V. I. Arnold, Ordinary Differential Equations, Moscow, Nauka, 1974 [in English, Cambridge, MA, MIT Press, 1973, 1978] is sufficient (but not necessary).”
