Alternate Realities: Mathematical Models of Nature and Man

Praise for Alternate Realities Mathematical Models of Nature and Man " covers the major topics completely and accurately within the context of current knowledge. Indeed, to my knowledge, there is no book which does so nearly as completely and well." - George Leitmann, University of California, Berkeley "Surveys an extensive amount of modern mathematics introduces and outlines some of these basic modern ideas for the non-specialist." - Donald G. Saari, Northwestern University "A sophisticated and modern text on mathematical modelling much more comprehensive than any of its competitors currently on the market." - George Klir, State University of New York at Binghamton "Casti's approach is fearless in constructing conceptual mappings between reality and mathematical notions. The book is pioneering in nature." - Myron B. Allen, University of Wyoming
