Product Description
Praise for Alternate Realities Mathematical Models of Nature and Man "…covers the major topics completely and accurately within the context of current knowledge. Indeed, to my knowledge, there is no book which does so nearly as completely and well." —George Leitmann, University of California, Berkeley "Surveys an extensive amount of modern mathematics…introduces and outlines some of these basic modern ideas for the non-specialist." —Donald G. Saari, Northwestern University "A sophisticated and modern text on mathematical modelling…much more comprehensive than any of its competitors currently on the market." —George Klir, State University of New York at Binghamton "Casti’s approach is fearless in constructing conceptual mappings between reality and mathematical notions. The book is pioneering in nature." —Myron B. Allen, University of Wyoming
From the Publisher
This up-to-date treatment stresses dynamics rather than statics, nonlinearity rather than linearity, and possibility rather than optimality. A thoroughly modern account of the theory and practice of mathematical modelling, treatment focuses on system-theoretic concepts such as complexity, self-organization, adaptation, bifurcation, resiliance, surprise and uncertainty, and the mathematical structures needed to employ these in a formal system. Applications are drawn mainly from the social, behavioral, and life sciences, rather than the physical sciences. Includes extensive problem sets and discussion questions.
