Since the dramatic discovery of the mathematical concept of chaos in 1989, the controversy of its contents has settled down. This revised edition of "Does God Play Dice?" takes a fresh look at its achievements and potential. With a new preface and three completely new chapters, it includes the latest practical applications of chaos theory, such as developing intelligent heart pacemakers. All this provides a fascinating new answer to Einstien's question which provided the title of this book.

Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

Chaos theory sets out to explain everything, from music to the movements of distant galaxies, based upon probability and randomness. Stewart's book aims to put current ideas into their historical perspectives and provide a clear overview. (Kirkus UK)
