5.0 out of 5 stars Chaos theory for the rest of us, May 12 2002

This review is from: Chaos Theory Tamed (Hardcover)

As an applied social scientist with an interest in dynamical systems theory, this book was a revelation to me--technically accurate without being overwhelmingly technical. One of the two best introductions to dynamical systems for those of us who are involved in this area of research but forgot to major in math as undergrads. (The other one that I recommed, by the way, is Kaplan and Glass's work Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics.)

5.0 out of 5 stars beginner's choice, July 5 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Chaos Theory Tamed (Hardcover)

Very easy to read. It is an excellent tool to readers that want a first contact with chaos theory. The math is very simple and even if you are rusty or need some basic theory the book has 7 chapters to reinforced you. If by chance you don't understand this tools then probably chaos theory is not for you.

This review is from: Chaos Theory Tamed (Hardcover)

This is the most understandable book in chaos theory I have read. It clearly explains the theory and the tools to understand it. I have read several books and papers but this is the one I like the most. If you are interested in Chaos theory try this book first and then read other technical stuff.
