Features: A revolution occurred quietly in the development of physics—or, more accurately, of science—in the last three decades. The revolution touches upon every discipline in both the natural and social sciences. We are referring to the birth of a new science—nonlinear science—which, for the sake of presentation, may be divided into six parts: fractals, chaos, pattern information, solitons, cellular automata, and complex systems.
