| Review: | These are the responses of scientists at a meeting in Bristol in June 2001; they were asked to reflect on what has been learned from the phenomenal rise in nonlinear dynamics and to address the question of what still needs to be learned. Three interrelated themes were chosen: neural and biological systems; spatially extended systems, and experimentation in the physical sciences. They had many suggestions, but the over-riding message was that if dynamical system theory is to have a long-term impact, it needs to get smart, because most systems are ill-defined due, for example, to delay, spatial extent, stochasticity, or the limitation of available data. |
