Opis

Made by chemical engineers, mathematicians and physicists, this volume concerns the formation of steady or dynamic patterns in reactive media. It covers topics ranging from experimental studies, through descriptions of numerical experiments, to rather abstract theoretical investigations, each exhibiting different aspects of a very diverse field.
