Description
Written for the non-specialist scientist wishing to bring chaos theory into focus as something conceptually and operationally useful in scientific applications, this text bridges the gap between non-mathematical popular treatments and the distinctly mathematical publications that non-mathematicians find so difficult to penetrate. The book provides derivations or explanations of many key concepts, such as Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, dimensions, Fourier analysis and Lyapunov exponents. Only basic algebra, trigonometry, geometry and statistics are assumed as background. It aims the provide an accessible introduction to chaos theory for the scientist who is not a mathematician.
