Adventures in Order and Chaos [E-Book] : A Scientific Autobiography / by George Contopoulos.
The field of Order and Chaos had a remarkable expansion in the last 50 years. The main reason was the use of computers, and the development of new theoretical methods that we call now 'the theory of chaos'. The author describes this fascinating period in a relaxed and sometimes humorous au...
