Geometry Bible

Editors: Adamatzky, Andrew (Ed.)
A 'bible' of experimental computing with spatially extended living substrates
Presents topics of complex systems, emergence, self-organization, mathematical machines in any easily understandable way
With contributions from world top experts in applied and computer science, biology, logics and philosophy, nanotechnology
Lavishly illustrated
With visually attractive examples of slime mould based computing devices

This is a masterly exposition and an encyclopedic presentation of the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws. It illustrates the essential role of continuum thermodynamics in providing motivation and direction for the development of the mathematical theory while also serving as the principal source of applications. The reader is expected to have a certain mathematical sophistication and to be familiar with (at least) the rudiments of analysis and the qualitative theory of partial differential equations, whereas prior exposure to continuum physics is not required.
