«Does God Play Dice?» is Ian Stewart's popular mathematics essay, published by Penguin in paperback (416 pages, in English).
From Einstein's question about whether God plays dice, Ian Stewart shows why phenomena like a dripping tap, the weather, or financial markets can be unpredictable. The book traces the origins of chaos theory, its principles, and practical applications such as intelligent cardiac pacemakers.
Second revised edition, published on 26 June 1997. Includes bibliographic references and index.
A popular science work for those interested in science and mathematics who want to approach chaos theory without prior knowledge.
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.
