Description for The Genesis of Simulation in Dynamics. Pursuing the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam Problem.
Hardback. Introduces the aspects of the development of the modern theory of dynamics and simulation. This book discusses problems such as the nonlinear oscillator simulation carried out by Fermi, Pasta and Ulam at Los Alamos in the 1940s, the seminal discoveries by Lorentz at MIT in the early 1950s, and the general problems of computability. Num Pages: 176 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBW; PHD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 12. Weight in Grams: 454.
We hear a lot about dynamical systems theory these days-"chaos dy namics" is the popular idiom-but very little of this abstract discipline is taught in undergraduate or even in graduate school, unless that happens to be one's own field. People may have heard some of the terms, but they may not understand what a dynamicist does. Just what does a dynamicist do? Although I've been through the training, I spend much more time talk ing and thinking about dynamics than actually doing it, which is a circum stance that affords me an interesting perspective.
