Synopsis

One service mathematics has rendered the ~Et moi, .... si j'avait su comment en revenir, je human race. It has put common sense back n'y serais point aile.' where it belongs, on the topmost shelf next to Jules Verne the dusty canister labelled 'discarded nonsense'. Eric T. Bell The series is divergent; therefore we may be able to do something with it. O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and nonlineari­ ties abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sci­ ences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One ser­ vice topology has rendered mathematical physics .. .'; 'One service logic has rendered computer science .. .'; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d'etre of this series.

Synopsis

This volume arose from courses given at the Second School on Statistical Physics and Cooperative Systems, Santiago, Chile, December 1990. It contains a selection of survey papers on recent trends in the fields of statistical physics, automata networks and dynamical systems. The various papers included deal with topics such as chaotic systems, turbulence, transport, cellular automata, fractals, neural networks, optimization problems, and spin glasses. This work is aimed at mathematicians, physicists and engineers interested in cellular automata, dynamical systems, statistical physics and neural networks.
