The techniques that can be used to solve nonlinear problems are very different from those used to solve linear problems. Many courses in analysis and applied mathematics attack linear cases simply because they are easier to solve and do not require a large theoretical background in order to approach them. Professor Schechter's book is devoted to nonlinear methods using the least background material possible and the simplest linear techniques. «
