In this collection of front-line reports, edited for the general reader, internationally recognized experts trace the roots of chaos in modern science and mathematics.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting,
By Pandora33 (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Exploring Chaos: A Guide to the New Science of Disorder (Paperback)
I got this book for a class: Anarchy & Chaos Honors Capstone for my undergraduate degree in Biochem since I was focusing on Entropy and the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Certain chapters in this book shed amazingly interesting insight on the topics, and gave me a different point of view. (I especially enjoyed Time's Arrow.)Bottom line: great information. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book as an introductory text
