Our time is characterized by an explosive growth in the use of ever
more complicated and sophisticated (computer) models. These models
rely on dynamical systems theory for the interpretation of their
results and on probability theory for the quantification of their
uncertainties. A conscientious and intelligent use of these models
requires that both these theories are properly understood. This
book is to provide such understanding. It gives a unifying
treatment of dynamical systems theory and probability theory. It
covers the basic concepts and statements of these theories, their
interrelations, and their applications to scientific reasoning and
physics. The book stresses the underlying concepts and mathematical
structures but is written in a simple and illuminating manner
without sacrificing too much mathematical rigor. The book is aimed
at students, post-docs, and researchers in the applied sciences who
aspire to better understand the conceptual and mathematical
underpinnings of the models that they use. Despite the
peculiarities of any applied science, dynamics and probability are
the common and indispensable tools in any modeling effort. The book
is self-contained, with many technical aspects covered in
appendices, but does require some basic knowledge in analysis,
linear algebra, and physics. Peter Muller, now a professor emeritus
at the University of Hawaii, has worked extensively on ocean and
climate models and the foundations of complex system theories.
