How do scientists look at chance, or randomness, and chaos in physical systems? In this study, David Ruelle explores game theory, probability, classical chaos and quantum uncertainty among many other topics. Since many systems are highly sensitive to initial conditions, the consequences of tiny exchanges in the variables can be enormous. Ruelle applies this insight to the understanding of turbulence, "strange attractors", entropy, black holes, information and intelligence.

How do scientists look at chance, or randomness, and chaos in physical systems? In answering this question for a general audience, Ruelle writes in the best French tradition: he has produced an authoritative and elegant book-a model of clarity, succinctness, and a humor bordering at times on the sardonic.

Etat : Bueno. : En este estudio, David Ruelle explora la teoría de juegos, la probabilidad, el caos clásico y la incertidumbre cuántica entre muchos otros temas. Dado que muchos sistemas son muy sensibles a las condiciones iniciales, las consecuencias de pequeños intercambios en las variables pueden ser enormes. Ruelle aplica esta idea a la comprensión de la turbulencia, los "atractores extraños", la entropía, los agujeros negros, la información y la inteligencia.
