Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0754.00015.] We introduce some of the fundamental notions of chemical kinetics as an aid to those readers who may be unfamiliar with chemical systems. We then look at several simple models of nonlinear dynamics in chemistry before moving on to the prototypical chemical oscillator, the Belousov- Zhabotinskij reaction. We next consider the problem of how to design an oscillating chemical reaction. After treating temporal oscillation we examine the phenomenon of spatial pattern formation resulting from the combination of chemical reaction and diffusion. More complex phenomena, including chemical chaos, are treated next. We close by considering coupled oscillators, biological applications, and possible future directions.
