Cellular Automata And Complexity: Collected Papers Paperback - 2002
by Stephen Wolfram
These original papers on cellular automata and complexity, some of which are widely known in the scientific community, provide a highly readable account of what has become a major new field of science, with important implications for physics, biology, economics, computer science, and many other areas.
First line
The second law of thermodynamics implies that isolated microscopically reversible physical systems tend with time to states of maximal entropy and maximal "disorder."

Description:
Westview Press, 1994. Tapa Blanda. Bien. Texto en inglés. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Buen estado de conservación. Are mathematical equations the best way to model nature? For many years it had been assumed that they were. But in the early 1980s, Stephen Wolfram made the radical proposal that one should instead build models that are based directly on simple computer programs. Wolfram made a detailed study of a class of such models known as cellular automata, and discovered a remarkable fact: that even when the underlying rules are very simple, the behavior they produce can be highly complex, and can mimic many features of what we see in nature. And based on this result, Wolfram began a program of research to develop what he called ?A Science of Complexity.?The results of Wolfram's work found many applications, from the so-called Wolfram Classification central to fields such as artificial life, to new ideas about cryptography and fluid dynamics. This book is a…
