Description
Nonlinear dynamics is now recognized as playing a crucial
role in a wide variety of disciplines. But what is only just
beginning is the important process of cross fertilization
and transfer of knowledge and expertise from one area to
another. This book is intended to promote this process which
will undoubtedly contribute greatly to furthering our
understanding of complex systems. Contributions are
provided by leading experts from the areas of sociology,
cognitive science, chemistry, physiology, ecology,
economics, neural networks and physics.
