As suggested by the title of this book, I will present a collection
of coherently related applications and a theoretical development of
a general systems theory. Hopefully, this book will invite all
readers to sample an exciting and challenging (even fun ) piece of
interdisciplinary research, that has characterized the scientific
and technological achievements of the twentieth century. And, I
hope that many of them will be motivated to do additional reading
and to contribute to topics along the lines described in the
following pages. Since the applications in this volume range
through many scientific disciplines, from sociology to atomic
physics, from Einstein's relativity theory to Dirac's quan tum
mechanics, from optimization theory to unreasonable effectiveness
of mathe matics to foundations of mathematical modeling, from
general systems theory to Schwartz's distributions, special care
has been given to write each application in a language appropriate
to that field. That is, mathematical symbols and abstractions are
used at different levels so that readers in various fields will
find it possible to read. Also, because of the wide range of
applications, each chapter has been written so that, in general,
there is no need to reference a different chapter in order to
understand a specific application. At the same time, if a reader
has the desire to go through the entire book without skipping any
chapter, it is strongly suggested to refer back to Chapters 2 and 3
as often as possible.
