Chaos Theory for the Practical Military Mind (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025090863)

The military professional is a practically-minded individual. This is not, stereotypes aside, the result of an inflexible, unimaginative nature, but comes from pursuing a profession that emphasizes mission accomplishment above all else. What sane nation would want less of its protectors?
This paper is written with such a practical mindset, and begins with a definition of the most pertinent aspects of Chaos Theory for military applications. This is kept at a conceptual level for the benefit of the novice looking to understand the â€~big picture' before pursuing the topic further, and for those individuals who do not need to work at a more mathematical level. Examples of Chaotic systems of military interest are given.
