Chaos: Making A New Science

Chaos by James Gleick presents to its readers the idea of a new science. Gleick shows this new science as a deviation of old conventional science; which gives rise to new ideas and new ways to look at old problems. In order to make his point; Gleick traces the lives of many different scientists throughout history. Feigenbaum, Lorenz, and Mandelbrot are three main scientists in which Gleick gives a look into their lives and accomplishments in an attempt to give us order out of chaos. The success of these three scientist attributed to the “Chaos Theory”, being any small change or action could lead to a great change or action. By looking at old ideas closely many scientist found chaos in their work and past works. Chaos attempts to find order within disorder with the break through of new sciences. Gleick gives the reader a view of these new sciences in simple terms in which normal people can understand in order to gasp the concept of chaos.
