Description
This text has been designed to shows engineers and scientists how, by the application of statistical methods, co-ordinate transformations and mathematical analysis, any complex, unpredictable dynamical systems can be mapped. It describes the various modelling tools, their benefits and their limitations. Examples and analogies are used in place of theorems and proofs, and the book features a number of selected references to mathematical treatments, examples of specialized techniques, and case histories of models.
