廣義而言，動力學的目的是描述由“極少的”演化規律所決定的係統（如微分方程或映射）的長期動態。
20世紀60年代早期，Steve Smale引入一臻雙麯性概念，統一瞭動力係統理論的重要結果，導緻瞭關於一大類係統的一個非常成功的理論：一緻雙麯係統理論。一緻雙麯係統的動態非常復雜，然而，無論是從幾何角度還是統計層麵，它們都已得到很好的理解。
在過去的20年中，動力係統理論發生瞭另一個巨大變化：研究人員試圖建立一個統一理論，適閤“大多數”動力係統；在該理論下，一緻雙麯情形的盡可能多的結論依然成立。
《一緻雙麯綫之外的動力學：一種整體的幾何學的與概率論的觀點》嘗試由最新進展齣發，統一地展望動力係統理論，提齣一些公共開問題，指齣未來的可能發展方嚮。
《一緻雙麯綫之外的動力學：一種整體的幾何學的與概率論的觀點》麵嚮希望快速而廣泛地瞭解動力學這一方麵發展的初學者及研究人員，深度不等地討論瞭主要的思想、方法以及結果，給齣瞭相關參考文獻，讀者可以從文獻中獲知詳細細節和補充信息。
《一緻雙麯綫之外的動力學：一種整體的幾何學的與概率論的觀點》共12章，各章保持相當的獨立性，以方便讀者閱讀特定主題。
