Beschreibung:
This book is a compilation of the review papers, expositions and some of the technical works of Leo Kadanoff, a theoretical physicist. The objective is to put together a group of not-too-technical writing in which he discusses some issues in condensed matter physics, hydro-dynamics, applied mathematics and national policy.
Fundamental issues in hydrodynamics, condensed matter and field theory; scaling and phase transitions; simulations, urban studies and social systems; turbulence and chaos; complex patterns.
