Reality Rules I & II : Picturing the World in Mathematics : The Fundamentals, the Frontier, Paperback by Casti, John L., ISBN 0471184373, ISBN-13 9780471184379, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US
In this paperback set reprint originally published in 1992, Casti (Santa Fe Institute, NM and Technical U. of Vienna, Austria) frames real-world phenomena through the rules and competing "dialects" of mathematical modeling. The first volume of this magnum opus sets forth the fundamentals of model-making for complex natural systems and seeking order in chaos. In the second volume, the frontier expands to include game theory perspectives on evolutionary epistemology, cognition, and sociobiology. Each text provides discussion questions, problems, and references. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
