1	Chance and Chaos more books like this by David Ruelle add to wishlist How do scientists look at chance, or randomness, and chaos in physical systems? In this study, David Ruelle explores game theory, probability, classical chaos and quantum uncertainty among many other topics. Since many systems are highly sensitive to initial conditions, the consequences of tiny exchanges in the variables can be enormous. Ruelle ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.84! \| first editions
2	Chaotic Evolution and Strange Attractors more books like this by David Ruelle add to wishlist This book, based on lectures given at the Accademia dei Lincei, is an accessible and leisurely account of systems that display a chaotic time evolution. This behaviour, though deterministic, has features more characteristic of stochastic systems. The analysis here is based on a statistical technique known as time series analysis and so avoids ... see all copies from $3.93! new only from $15.40! \| first editions \| SVS
3	Statistical Mechanics: Rigorous Results more books like this by David Ruelle add to wishlist This text marks the beginning of an era of vigorous mathematical progress in equilibrium statistical mechanics. It treats the infinite system limit, and discusses thermodynamic functions and states. The conceptual foundation provided by the book should be useful for the study of developments of statistical mechanics in the second half of the 20th ... see all copies from $15.77! new only from $34.62! \| first editions \| SVS
4	Thermodynamic Formalism: The Mathematical Structure of Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics more books like this by David Ruelle add to wishlist Reissued in the Cambridge Mathematical Library this classic book outlines the theory of thermodynamic formalism which was developed to describe the properties of certain physical systems consisting of a large number of subunits. It is aimed at mathematicians interested in ergodic theory, topological dynamics, constructive quantum field theory, the ... see all copies from $49.82! new only from $54.34!
5	The Mathematician's Brain: A Personal Tour Through the Essentials of Mathematics and Some of the Great Minds Behind Them more books like this by David Ruelle add to wishlist "The Mathematician's Brain" poses a provocative question about the world's most brilliant yet eccentric mathematical minds: were they brilliant because of their eccentricities or in spite of them? In this thought-provoking and entertaining book, David Ruelle, the well-known mathematical physicist who helped create chaos theory, gives us a rare ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $16.84! \| first editions \| SVS

7	Dynamical Zeta Functions for Piecewise Monotone Maps of the Interval more books like this by David Ruelle add to wishlist Consider a space $M$, a map $f:M\to M$, and a function $g:M \to {\Bbb C $. The formal power series $\zeta(z) = \exp \sum infty_{m=1 \frac{z {m \sum_{x \in \roman{Fix \,f \prod m-1 _{k=0 g (f x)$ yields an example of a dynamical zeta function. Such functions have unexpected analytic properties and interesting relations to the theory of dynamical ... see all copies from $29.66! new only from $29.66!

9	Turbulence, Strange Attractors and Chaos more books like this by David Ruelle add to wishlist This collection of reprints covers the main contributions of David Ruelle, and co-authors, to the theory of chaos and its applications. It contains mathematical articles relevant to chaos, specific articles on the theory and articles on applications such as hydrodynamical turbulence. see all copies from $131.26! new only from $131.26!
10	Chaotic Evolution and Strange Attractors: The Statistical Analysis of Time Series for Deterministic Nonlinear Systems more books like this by David Ruelle add to wishlist This book, based on lectures given in Rome in 1987, is an account of systems that display a chaotic time evolution. The evolution, though deterministic, has features more characteristic of a stochastic behaviour. The analysis presented here is based on a technique known as time series analysis. see all copies from $300.66!

13	Zufall Und Chaos more books like this by David Ruelle, W Beiglbck (Translator) add to wishlist Der Zufall spielt eine zentrale Rolle in unserem Verst{ndnis der Natur der Dinge. Der mathematische Physiker David Ruelle benutzt ihn als roten Faden in diesem faszinierenden Buch. Er studiert dynamische Systeme, ihre oft empfindliche Abh{ngigkeit von den Anfangsbedingungen, und wie Chaos Determinismus und Zufall vers]hnt und unsere Kontrolle }ber ... see all copies from $40.18!
