The emergence and study of chaos theory, and its impact on our understanding of the natural world and complex systems.
Chaos explores the emergence of chaos theory, a new scientific paradigm that seeks to understand the behavior of complex systems that are sensitive to initial conditions. The book traces the development of the field, from its roots in the study of weather patterns and turbulence to its application in a wide range of fields, including biology, economics, and social science. The book also explores the broader implications of chaos theory for our understanding of the natural world and the limitations of scientific knowledge.
