Overview
Chaos Theory Tamed is written for scientists, mathematicians, economists, engineers, physiologists and others who wish to bring Chaos Theory into focus as something conceptually understandable and potentially applicable to their field. The book bridges the gap between non-mathematical popular treatments and the highly technical mathematical publications that often seem so difficult to penetrate.The author provides clear derivations or explanations of many key concepts such as Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, dimensions, Fourier analysis and Lyapunov exponents. The reader needs a background of nothing more than a basic course in algebra, trigonometry, geometry and possibly statistics. Rather than cover the field exhaustively, the author focuses on the most important topics, very much with the non-specialist in mind. In essence, the books provides and accessible introduction into Chaos Theory for the researcher, teacher or student who is not an advanced mathematician.Key Features: * Focused on the scientist as reader, not a mathematician* Highly accessible and scientifically relevant style* Essential reading for all scientists wishing to bring Chaos Theory into focus as something conceptually and operationally useful to them
