　　Leo Kadanoff is a theoretical physicist who has done research on chaos theory， superconductivity， phase transitions， fluid flow， the sociology of urban areas， heat transfer in missiles and elementary particle physics， During the last twenty-five years， he has devoted considerable effort to the development of teaching programs for underaduates based upon the use of small computers. Much of this teaching program has been an outgrowth of his interest in the description of chaos in physical systems.此书为英文版。
