Nonlinear computation is indispensable when we try to predict and simulate the dynamics of states in the biological systems we consist of, in the ecological and economical systems we live in, and in the technical systems we make use of. Section 1 refers to the significance of nonlinear. Sections 2-5 analyse some mathematical problems (branches, bifurcation, period doubling, chaos, etc.) associated to the fundamental nonlinear phenomena (chemical reactions, trigger circuits, isothermal reactions, oscillations, etc.), and describe methods of nonlinear computation (predictor-corrector approach, parametrizations, step controls, branching test functions, computation of bifurcations, chaos tools, etc.). Sections 6 and 7 attempt to outline trends (data mountains and accuracy, algorithmic improvements, risk analysis, etc.) which are inevitably taking over, and aims, which are worth to pursue.
