2 o livro (2002)... Three centuries ago science was transformed by the dramatic new idea that rules based on mathematical equations could be used to describe the natural world. My purpose in this book is to initiate another such transformation...

3 mathematics concepts... 1984... Wolfram! http://www.sciencetimeline.net/

4 os porquês... a descoberta... I took a sequence of simple programs and then systematically ran them to see how they behave. And what I found... very simple programs produce great complexity... as anything I had ever seen!

5 o princípio... Principle of Computational Equivalence that whenever one sees behavior that is not obviously simple – in essentially any system – it can be thought of as corresponding to a computation of equivalent sophistication a particular system will behave just by running na experiment and watching what happens

6 relações com outras áreas Matemática... how small the scope is of what is now considered Mathematics... and... the core of this book can be viewed as introducing a major generalization of mathematics – with new ideas and methods...

7 relações com outras áreas Física (teoria dos números, cálculo, probabilidade) Biologia (modelagem matemática) Ciências Sociais (economia a psicologia) Ciência da Computação (complexidade) Filosofia (limites do conhecimento, unicidade da condição humana, matemática) Arte (padrões e formas, sons, imagens,...) Tecnologia (suportar a inovação nas áreas mencionadas)

12 inquietações em 1974 (fourteen years old!!) What is the fundamental origin of the complicated patterns that one sees in turbulent fluids? How are the intricate patterns of snowflakes produced? What is the basic mechanism that allows plants and animals to grow in such complex ways?
