Critical Phenomena in Natural Sciences : Chaos, Fractals, Selforganization and Disorder: Concepts and Tools
Concepts, methods and techniques of statistical physics in the study of correlated, as well as uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences, biology and economics in an attempt to understand and model the large variability and risks of phenomena. This is the fi...
