What is mathematics? Unless you are a professional mathematician, it is probably not what you think
A very strange attractor – A curiously shaped “strange attractor” – my unique discovery, for everyone, forever
Discrete Dynamical Systems and Nonlinear Difference Equations: A Gateway (a source for detailed information on, striking images of and lots of links to dynamical systems where time and/or space may be discrete)
Nonlinear Difference Equations: Theory with Applications to Social Science Models (a monograph for students and researchers interested in the latest theoretical results in discrete dynamics and the applications of these results to many mathematical models from various fields of social sciences; see the table of contents, preface, selected text and graphics and more)
Cellular Automata, Dynamics and Complexity: What is missing from "A New Kind of Science" (thoughts on Stephen Wolfram's book and a counterexample to his principle of “computational equivalence”—yes, I have done it, see if you agree)
Spontaneous initiations
and terminations of reentry (SITR) patterns – Results of an
interdisciplinary project to study patterns of ventricular tachyarrhythmia
occurrences with articles published in the Journal
of Theoretical Biology and SIAM
Journal of Applied Mathematics
Reduction of order of difference equations via form symmetries (A new general approach to solving and/or qualitatively analyzing difference equations through reductions of order, semiconjugate factorizations and elimination of form symmetries)
Project Vote Smart (useful election information for voters on candidates seeking political office)
Knowledge is power. – Common wisdom
Imagination is more important than knowledge. – Albert Einstein, physicist
Minds are
like parachutes; they function only when they are open. – James
Dewar, chemist
Who would
not rather have the fame of Archimedes than that of his conqueror Marcellus?
– W.R. Hamilton, mathematician
In the
search for truth often “being on firm ground” is an illusion. Open
your mind and let your imagination soar! – G.H. Segu,
Storyteller
