«Dieu joue-t-il aux dés ?» is Ian Stewart's popular science essay, published by Flammarion in 1993 in paperback (441 pages, in French).
Starting from Einstein's question about whether God plays dice, Ian Stewart explains how chaos theory changed science: systems governed by deterministic laws can behave unpredictably and generate complex structures, fractals. In accessible language, he covers the ideas of Poincaré and Mandelbrot.
The book belongs to Flammarion's «Nouvelle Bibliothèque Scientifique» collection and includes a preface by Benoît Mandelbrot.
Non-specialist readers curious about mathematics, chaos and chance in nature, with a popular and accessible approach.
Ian Nicholas Stewart is a British mathematician and a popular-science, textbooks, and science-fiction books writer. He is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick, England.
