Abstract
Generally speaking, the term nonautonomous dynamics refers to the systematic use of dynamical tools to study the solutions of differential or difference equations with time-varying coefficients. The nature of the time variance may range from periodicity at one extreme, through Bohr almost periodicity, Birkhoff recurrence, Poisson recurrence etc. to stochasticity at the other extreme. The ``dynamical tools'' include almost everywhere Lyapunov exponents, exponential splittings, rotation numbers, and the theory of cocycles, but are by no means limited to these. Of course in practise one uses whatever ``works'' in the context of a given problem, so one usually finds dynamical methods used in conjunction with those of numerical analysis, spectral theory, the calculus of variations, and many other fields. The reader will find illustrations of this fact in all the papers of the present volume.
