Cucker, Felipe (ed.) et al., Foundations of computational mathematics, Hong Kong, China, 2008. Selected papers based on the presentations at the international conference of the Society for the Foundations of Computational Mathematics (FoCM), June 16–26, 2008.

This is interesting, useful, survey paper, concerning of some aspects of global behaviour of dynamical systems. On several examples the author shows, that a combination of analytic, symbolic and numerical tools, together with qualitative and topological considerations, can give a reasonably good description. The list of mentioned examples in the paper is:
(i) The Restricted Three-Body Problem;
(ii) The Sitnikov Problem;
(iii) Bifurcations:The Hopf-Saddle-Node Conservative Unfolding;
(iv) A Problem in Fluid Dynamics: The Rayleigh-Bénard Model;
(v) A Paradigmatic Example:The Henon Map.
