Reality Rules II Picturing the World in Mathematics - The Frontier

Strategies for survival; the analytical engine; taming nature and man; the geometry of human affairs; the mystique of mechanism; computation; complexity and the limits of reason.

Aiming to bridge the gap between mathematical models and the social experience of reality, this is a set of two volumes which examine recent developments in dynamical systems theory. It explores the tools - chaos, linear systems theory, evolutionary game theory - and introduces new areas.
