  • EXPLORING THE INVISIBLE UNIVERSE
    Belal Ehsan Baaquie / Frederick Hans Willeboordse
    "Why"? Why is the world, the Universe the way it is? Is space infinitely large? How small is small? What happens when one continues to divide matter into ever smaller pieces? Indeed, what is matter? Is there anything else besides what can be seen? Pursuing the questions employing the leading notions of physics, one soon finds that the tangible and visible world dissolves — rath...

  • The (1+1)-Nonlinear Universe of the Parabolic Map and Combinatorics
    James D Louck / Myron L Stein
    This monograph develops chaos theory from properties of the graphs inverse to the parabolic map of the interval [0, 2], where the height at the midpoint x = 1 may be viewed as a time-like parameter, which together with the x-coordinate, provide the two parameters that uniquely characterize the parabola, and which are used throughout the monograph. There is only one basic mathem...
