Chaos Theory Tamed

by Garnett P Williams

Chaos Theory Tamed Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

A semitechnical introduction to what has become the new paradigm in the realm of mathematics. The author comes from a peripheral field (geology/hydrology) and writes with an informal style; no prior knowledge of chaos theory is assumed. Intended for those without a strong mathematics and physics background, this survey nevertheless does require persistence and motivation on the reader's part along with some familiarity (through introductory courses) with algebra, trigonometry geometry, and statistics. After introductory background chapters, he offers a foundation of selected important material from various fields, followed by more advanced concepts.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Williams uses lists, graphics, examples, and friendly language to help readers understand the vocabulary and significance of chaos theory. The book will help scientists and students outside mathematics to use the concepts of chaos in working with data and will help interested lay readers grasp the fundamentals.
