Life,
The Universe and Mathematics
Life, the Universe and Mathematics
explores the fundamental questions of science
and life, using interactive life simulations and
over 50 raytraced animations which illustrate
the text.
The CD is particularly useful
as an introduction to "game of life"
systems, in which cellular automata are processed
through many iterations of simple rules to produce
life-like complexity.
The topics covered are:
- Celestial Mechanics
- Epicycles
- Complex Polygons
- Complexity and Cellular Automata
- Life
- Topology
- Cosmic Geometry
- Labyrinths and Knots
