Fractals, chaos, power laws

Description:

Reveals the extraordinary dimensions of new mathematical insights about the nature of physical reality; explores the powerful applications of these symmetry concepts in physics, chemistry, music, and the visual arts. Includes such areas as deterministic chaos and strange attractors, iterated mappings, nonlinear dynamics, Cayley trees, cellular automata, random fractals and related topics.
