Inhaltsangabe

A Program. Collection for the PC presents an outstanding selection of executable programs with introductory texts on chaos theory and its simulation. Students in physics, mathematics, and engineering will find a thorough introduction to fundamentals and applications in this field. Many numerical experiments and suggestions for further studies help the reader to become familiar with this fascinating topic. The CD-ROM : Ten executable programs and numerous examples are included on CD-ROM. Minimum system requirements : IBM or compatible PC using a 80286 processor; operating system MS-DOS 3.0 or higher; system memory 640 K; free space on hard disk plus 1.4 MB for additional examples; EGA or VGA graphics card; a mathematical coprocessor 8047,80287,80387, or 80487 is recommended but not essential; a mouse is not required but is supported by most of the programs. Also Windows 95/98 compatible. The programs cover: gravitational billiards: the wedge; the double pendulum; scattering off three disks; Fermi acceleration; the Duffing oscillator; a chaos generator; one-dimensional iterated maps; Mandelbrot and Julia sets; ordinary differential equations

Críticas

.,." The program devoted to the Julia and Mandelbrot sets is particularly exciting. Seeing the beautiful sets appearing on the screen, manipulating parameters oneself and observing the effects is infinitely more enlightening than viewing a picture in a book. ... Each chapter also provides a guide to ideas which the graduate student might wish to explore in that particular field." J E Scully, The Physicist 2000/37/6
