Chaotic Dynamics DOS Disk: Theory and Applications to Economics baixar o livro de graça

The increased interest in nonlinear dynamical systems is largely due to recent developements in chaos theory, which have undermined the prevailing tenets of science, showing that even simple nonlinear systems can have very complex behavior, and that the evolution of chaotic systems can be unpredictable even though the equations governing them are known and no random element is involved. The application of the new theory to the study of natural and social phenomena requires both a good understanding of the mathematical concepts and methods that consitute chaos theory, and the availability of computer programs that enable the investigator to perform numerical simulations of nonlinear dynamical systems and calculate certain basic quantitative indicators. This work is the first to provide the reader with both these elements in compact form. The programs and applications are available in either DOS (on an IBM 5 1/4" disk) or Macintosh (on a 3 1/2" disk).
