Inhaltsangabe
Designed for graduate students in biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics, this introductory textbook provides a systematic account of the experiments, simulations, and theory that explain how complex patterns form in sustained nonequilibrium systems. It contains numerous illustrative worked examples, and over 150 exercises.
