Book excerpt: Catastrophe Theory was introduced in the 1960s by the renowned Fields Medal mathematician René Thom as a part of the general theory of local singularities. Since then it has found applications across many areas, including biology, economics, and chemical kinetics. By investigating the phenomena of bifurcation and chaos, Catastrophe Theory proved to

This book was released on 1980-06-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to catastrophe theory, a mathematical theory which deals with those changes which occur abruptly rather than smoothly. Includes many applications to illustrate the different ways in which catastrophe can be used in life, physical and social sciences.

Download or read book The Mathematics Of Natural Catastrophes written by Gordon Woo and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999-10-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique book about natural catastrophes, focusing on the mathematical aspects of these phenomena. Although academic in style and didactic in purpose, it is practical in the treatment of the diverse issues covered, which range from hazard warning and forecasting to engineering design criteria and insurance loss estimation. Addressing as it does many mathematical topics not found together in a single volume, the book should be of value to all those with a quantitative educational interest in or professional concern for natural catastrophes.

Download or read book Catastrophe Theory and Bifurcation Routledge Revivals written by Alan Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical models have long been used by geographers and regional scientists to explore the working of urban and regional systems, via a system where the equilibrium point changes slowly and smoothly as the parameters change slowly and smoothly. However, this all changed with the advent of catastrophe theory and bifurcation, which enabled the development of models where a quite sudden change in the position of the equilibrium point results from a slow, small, smooth change in one or more parameters. First published in 1981, this reissue of Professor Wilson’s classic study outlines the implications of these mathematical models for geography and regional science, by way of a survey of contemporary applications.

Book excerpt: "Catastrophe Theory is a new mathematical method for describing the evolution of forms in nature. It was created by Rene Thom who wrote a revolutionary book Structural Stability and Morphogenesis in 1972, expanding the philosophy behind the ideas. It is particularly applicable where gradually changing forces produce sudden effects. We often call such effects catastrophes, because our intuition about the underlying continuity of the forces makes the very discontinuity of the effects so unexpected, and this has given rise to the name."--Page 1.
