Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)

Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick. Students will learn about useful computational and modeling tools, while also learning about a new area of mathematics that has fascinated many (e.g. This new notion, Chaos, can be defined as the existence of unpredictable or random behaviour. Sociology and modern systems theory. See the link at the right side (in the blogroll). Excellent book, just really superb. Chaos; complexity; epistemology; equilibrium; modernism; paradigms; self-adapting systems; strategy. James Gleick, Chaos Making a New Science (New York: Penguin Books, 1987). (This book is about the birth of chaos. Chaos: Making A New Science cont'd. James Gleick's Chaos: Making a New Science is a national best seller). The classic analogy for understanding a chaotic system appears in James Gleick's book, Chaos: Making a New Science. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall. Had become the cornerstone of a “new science,” and scientists and mathematicians across disciplines had latched onto the central themes of Turing's paper to develop the legitimate sciences of chaos and emergence. Finally, from a chaotic perspective the confluence of interactions both within and between individuals is highly variable and the system is sensitive to initial conditions making prediction of such complex interactions virtually impossible. As this can be a highly technical subject, I suggest further reading in James Gleick's “Chaos, Making a New Science”, or Gary Flake's “The Computational Beauty of Nature.” Picture by: the-square-root-of-3 via deviantart.com. Chapter 7: The Experimenter D'Arcy Thompson's thoughts on physical cause in shaping nature is interesting. The discovery of the new science, Chaos, brought on much skepticism from established scientists. Fractals, which have been identified in natural science in the mapping of the microvascular system and snow flake geometry, are recurring patterns within larger systems that are self-similar, that is, a shape appears similar at all scales of magnification.
