Chaos in science has always been a fascinating realm since it challenges the usual scientific approach of reductionism. While carefully distinguishing between complexity, holism, randomness, incompleteness, nondeterminism and stochastic behaviour the authors show that, although many aspects of chaos have been phenomenologically understood, most of its defining principles are still difficult to grasp and formulate. Demonstrating that chaos escapes all traditional methods of description, the authors set out to find new methods to deal with this phenomenon and illustrate their constructive approach with many examples from physics, biology and information technology. While maintaining a high level of rigour, an overly ... Read more

Reviews for Complex Systems: Chaos and Beyond
From the reviews: SIAM REVIEW "To sum up, the book should be a must-read for those interested in the modeling of coupled nonlinear systems…the interest of the global view of complexity that it provides makes it a highly recommendable read."
