In recent years, Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science has brought the modeling power that lies in cellular automata to the attentionof the scientific world, and now, Cellular Automata: A Discrete View of the World presents all the depth, analysis, and applicability of the classic Wolfram text in a straightforward, introdu 410 0$aWiley-Interscience series in discrete mathematics and optimization. 606 $aCellular automata 615 0$aCellular automata. 676 $a511.3/5 676 $a511.35 676 $a530.13011 700 $aSchiff$b Joel L$059822 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910840755103321 996 $aCellular automata$94136815 997 $aUNINA
