Nonlinear dynamics is now recognized as playing a crucial
role in a wide variety of disciplines. But what is only just
beginning is the important process of cross fertilization
and transfer of knowledge and expertise from one area to
another. This book is intended to promote this process which
will undoubtedly contribute greatly to furthering our
understanding of complex systems. Contributions are
provided by leading experts from the areas of sociology,
cognitive science, chemistry, physiology, ecology,
economics, neural networks and physics.
Nonlinear dynamics is now playing an important role in many disciplines. This book is intended to promote the process of "cross-fertilization" by which knowledge and ideas from one field find new applications and extensions in other areas. Leading experts from all branches of the natural sciences have contributed to this fasci nating collection.
