About this product

Product Information

This book brings together different work in the new field of physics called the chaos theory, an extension of classical mechanics, in which simple and complex causes are seen to interact. Mathematics may only be able to solve simple linear equations which experiment has pushed nature into obeying in a limited way, but now that computers can map the whole plane of solutions of non-linear equations a new vision of nature is revealed. The implications are staggeringly universal in all areas of scientific work and philosophical thought.

    Item arrived before the due date. Well packaged. Excellent condition. Unfortunately, the book was the same tire but not the same author.

  • Greatly Recommend

    Quite interesting text which I am at superb interest of. The condition of the book is moderate as it presents creases, writing, and clearly aged. However, the condition doesn’t postpone my reading enjoyment so I greatly recommend this novel as a text to teach a new science.
