‎Reality Rules : II Picturing the World in Mathematics The Frontier‎

‎New York: John Wiley & Sons Inc. 1992. Vol. 2 THE FRONTIER only. Vol. 1 THE FUNDAMENTALS is NOT included here. Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. Bright shiny clean square and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Pages are fresh and crisp. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Hardcover. First printing with complete number row 10 987654321 on the copyright page. 7.25" wide by 10.25" tall. Bound in the original purple boards stamped in white on the spine and front cover. From the Dust Jacket: "Mathematical modeling is about rules -- the rules of reality. REALITY RULES explores the syntax and semantics of the language in which these rules are written the language of mathematics. Characterized by the clarity and vision typical of the author' s previous books Reality RULES is a window onto the competing dialects of this language -- in the form of mathematical models of real-world phenomena -- that researchers use today to frame their views of reality. Moving from the irreducible basics of modeling to the upper reaches of scientific and philosophical speculation Volumes I and II THE FUNDAMENTALS and THE FRONTIER are ideal complementary texts equally matched in difficulty yet unique in their coverage of issues central to the contemporary modeling of complex systems. THE FRONTIER introduces a number of application areas and/or associated techniques of modeling that complement the ideas presented in THE FUNDAMENTALS i.e. Volume I. Chapter 5 shows how dynamical system theory and concepts from game theory can be brought together to shed new light on problems of population biology and ecology. This chapter also gives a mathematical account of the controversial problem of sociobiology. Chapter 6 introduces the notion of control system within the confines of linear processes. The ideas of reachability and observability are given special emphasis and used to illustrate how 'good' models are constructed directly from observed data. Chapter 7 deals with the selection mechanism for inputs that are chosen to maximize or minimize some measure of system performance while Chapter 8 addresses the ways in which patterns in art literature and other fields outside of the natural sciences can be formulated in meaningful mathematical terms. Chapter 9 focuses on computation showing why there is no difference between a computer program a dynamical system and a deductive logical system. The practical tutorial design of REALITY RULES allows students to fully master conceptual material while fostering creative thought. The end-of-section exercises within each chapter and the discussion questions and problems sections high-light key areas and enhance classroom and at home study. The book' s many examples not only introduce new applications of theoretical results but also illustrate how to use the theory in a wide array of realistic situations� Lucidly written and handsomely illustrated REALITY RULES is a fascinating journey into the conceptual underpinnings of reality itself one that examines the major themes in dynamical system theory and modeling and the issues related to mathematical models in the broader contexts of science and philosophy. Far-reaching and far-sighted REALITY RULES is destined to shape the thought and work of students researchers and scholars in mathematics science and the social sciences for generations to come.".

A volume from the Addison-Wesley Mathematics series. Illustrated throughout with diagrams figures graphs and equations. Bound in the original dark orange wrappers lettered in white. The following is from MIT TECH TALK November 15 2006: "George B. Thomas a mathematician who turned a one-year teaching appointment at MIT into a 38-year career and whose well-regarded textbook has been used around the world died Oct. 31 of natural causes in State College Pa. He was 92. Thomas known as a young teacher for his ability to communicate mathematical concepts was hired in 1951 by publisher Addison-Wesley to revise their standard widely used calculus textbook. Rather than revise he wrote his own a classic text that has been in use for 54 years. At MIT Thomas came to be regarded as an outstanding teacher 'one of the best teachers the department has ever had' according to then department head Ted Martin� Thomas was born Jan. 11 1914 in Boise Idaho� He studied at Spokane University and Washington State College which led to bachelor's and master's degrees� During World War II Thomas helped program the differential analyzer for the calculation of firing tables for the Navy. After the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in October 1957 Thomas was part of a national effort to improve math and science education in American schools� He eventually went to Cornell where he completed his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1940 and then came to MIT from which he retired in 1978. Thomas' commitment to education went well beyond MIT. From 1955-57 he served on the Board of Governors of the Mathematical Association of America an organization devoted to mathematics especially at the undergraduate level. He was elected its first Vice-President 1958-59. Thomas also served on the Executive Committee Mathematics Division of the American Society for Engineering Education from 1956-59. He was a member of the Commission on Mathematics of the College Entrance Examination Board 1955-58 for which he co-authored monographs on mathematics and spoke at numerous forums about teaching and high school curriculum reform. In addition to his calculus text which had a significant impact he was also one of the editors on a series of high school mathematics texts for Addison-Wesley Publishing.".
