Randomnicity Rules and Randomness in the Realm of the Infinite by Anastasios A Tsonis "Reading the book is like visiting a museum, and as the reader goes successively through the chapters he (or she) encounters beautiful ideas and interesting comments. Although the book is not a book on the history of mathematics, it contains interesting historical facts." Zentralbatt MATH

World Scientific Series on Nonlinear Science Series A
New developments in nonlineardynamics, chaos and complexity arecausing a revolution in science. The exciting development of newconcepts and tools in Nonlinear Science calls for a broad spectrum ofpublications at different levels. This new series will includemonographs, treatises, edited volumes on a single theme by expertsactively engaged in research and proceedings of selected workshops andcolloquia. Addressing a wide audience ranging from undergraduatestudents and young researchers to experienced scientists, this serieswill present a variety of fascinating topics of current interest. |
Exploring Complexity
For four centuries our sciences have progressed by looking at its objects of study in a reductionist manner. In contrast complexity science, that has been evolving during the last 30-40 years, seeks to look at its objects of study from the bottom up, seeing them as systems of interacting elements that form, change, and evolve over time. Complexity therefore is not so much a subject of research as a way of looking at systems. It is inherently interdisciplinary, meaning that it gets its problems from the real non-disciplinary world and its energy and ideas from all fields of science, at the same time affecting each of these fields. |
