Chaos theory has already shown that simple systems, obeying precise laws, can nevertheless act in a random manner. Perhaps God plays dice within a cosmic game of complete law and order.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDoes God Play Dice?\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a strange universe in which nothing may be as it seems. Familiar geometrical shapes such as circles and ellipses give way to infinitely complex structures known as fractals, the fluttering of a butterfly's wings can change the weather, and the gravitational attraction of a creature in a distant galaxy can change the fate of the solar system.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis revised and updated edition includes three chapters on the prediction and control of chaotic systems. New information regarding the solar system and an account of complexity theory is also incorporated. It is a lucid and witty book which makes the complex mathematics of chaos accessible and entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan Stewart\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick and a Fellow of the Royal Society.
