Title: The impact of chaos on science and society
Description: "Presented here are contributions from mathematicians, physicists, biological and medical scientists, geoscientists, engineers, economists, and social scientists - including pioneers and world leaders in research on chaos. The result is a lively and stimulating international, interdisciplinary exchange of experiences and ideas on chaotic phenomena. The volume concludes with an exchange among the experts on the past and possible future impacts chaos has had in the physical and social sciences. This book offers an assessment of the general impact of chaos theory and, it is hoped, will further enhance the interaction among scientists who may discover that chaotic dynamics play an important part in their respective fields."--BOOK JACKET.
