Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Aiming to bridge the gap between mathematical models and the social experience of reality, this study examines the recent developments in dynamical systems theory. It explores the tools - chaos, linear systems theory, evolutionary game theory - and introduces new areas.

Reseña del editor

An account of the syntax and semantics of the language in which these reality rules are written--the language of mathematics. Coverage includes a discussion of computation and complexity running the gamut from Godel's Incompleteness Theorem and its connection to work in artificial intelligence to the problem of NP-completeness and the complexity of numerical algorithms to the relation between chaos and stock-price fluctuations. Each chapter contains a significant amount of research problems and ends with discussion questions. Features an extended, annotated bibliography.
