It is still not entirely clear, whether chaos theory will furnish solutions to problems posed by complex systems upon the development of a mathematics that is descriptive of complexity, in the same way that calculus is descriptive of continuously-varying processes. The present survey of the current understanding of chaos discusses the characteristics of complexity, the metaquantification of complexity, the anatomy of open and closed systems and structures, fixed-point and strange attractors, the mathematics of rapid growth, the discrete logistic equation, the role of entropy considerations, and the diagnostics and control of chaos. A clean very presentable copy. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is "Applied Chaos Theory - A Paradigm for Complexity" by A. B. Çambel. It is the 1992 First Edition Hardcover published by Academic Press. The hardcover format is now Out of Print (OP). The publisher's description of this book : "This book differs from others on Chaos Theory in that it focuses on its applications for understanding complex phenomena. The emphasis is on the interpretation of the equations rather than on the details of the mathematical derivations. The presentation is interdisciplinary in its approach to real-life problems: it integrates nonlinear dynamics, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, information theory, and fractal geometry. An effort has been made to present the material in a reader-friendly manner, and examples are chosen from real life situations. Recent findings on the diagnostics and control of chaos are presented, and suggestions are made for setting up a simple laboratory." An Excerpt from Professor Çambel's Preface is worth the read, also : "Complexity is ubiquitous. It is in nature as well as artifice. It occurs in large and small systems. It can be tangible or intangible. To be aware of the existence of complexity can be like feeling a 'presence that virtually defies description. As yet there is no agreed-upon explicit definition of complexity, although there are various operational descriptions. How much we frail human beings are meant to understand about complexity is nebulous. The task is both awesome and formidable. Indeed , it may be far too presumptuous to insist that we can explain everything. Perhaps all one should hope for is embodied within a statement by President Emeritus of M. I. T. Jerome B. Wiesner : 'Some problems are just too complicated fro rational, logical Solutions. They admit insights, not answers.' It is in this spirit that I have written this book. I have attempted to explore the potential applications of chaos theory to reveal 'insights' into the structure and dynamics of complex systems. Like any other methodology, chaos theory has its limitations, and is still in its formative stages. I have stepped outside nonlinear dynamics per se, and have included nonequilibrium thermodynamics, information theory, and fractal geometry. This is natural because complexity transcends the boundaries of traditional disciplines. I male no claim to originality. I have attempted to emphasize applications and have shied away from both erudite mathematical discussions and details of the mathematical elegance."
