Hi,
It really depends on what you want to do. If you just want to follow equilibria, you dont need to know much. A nice textbook is:
Kuznetsov, Yuri A. _Elements of Applied Bifurcation Theory_. Vol. 112. Applied Mathematical Sciences. Cham: Springer International Publishing, 2023. [https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-22007-4](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-22007-4).
