The New Mathematics of Chaos

Beschreibung

Since the dramatic discovery of the mathematical concept of chaos in 1989, the controversy of its contents has settled down. This edition takes a fresh look at its achievements and potential. It includes the practical applications of chaos theory, such as developing intelligent heart pacemakers, and provides a fresh answer to Einstien's question.
