5.0 out of 5 stars A musician applauds, March 12, 2000

This review is from: Dynamical Systems: A Visual Introduction (Science Frontier Express Series) (Paperback)
The graphics in this remarkable little book are cleverly designed to awaken imagination to the psychic and physical kinematics behind resultant images. Thus the authors are able to hide their calculus on a single page in the Appendix and concentrate on the visual calisthenics involved in translating quantitative data into meaning. Seating themselves comfortably in Chaos, they succeed in making conventional order appear strange and wonderful "accidents," and thus enable us to think about it without conventional straight-jackets. I can't imagine an academic study which these ideas would not enrich. A valuable introduction to the new millennium, and an indispensable "traveling companion." (Ernest McClain, author of The Myth of Invariance and The Pythagorean Plato).
