Reading Gleick's book title "Chaos: The making of a new science" inspires me to see if anybody out there, besides myself, would be interested in getting a new newsgroup going on the subject of Chaos/fractals/nonlinear dynamics. It strikes me as such an interdisciplinary subject that any discussion would be more appropriate in a separate news group rather than sci.math or sci.physics. For want of a better name, it could go under sci.chaos, although this is admittedly ambiguous. As I understand the standard procedures, I need to collect votes on the subject. email votes to me at hough@lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu by June 11.

How about using the existing group on dynamical systems and chaos:
comp.theory.dynamic-sys ?

I am also a student of the subject. This idea was brought up a few months ago, and I was making noise about it. The response I generally got was: use existing groups. -- O----------------------------------------------------------------------> | Cliff Joslyn, Cybernetician at Large | Systems Science, SUNY Binghamton, vu0112@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu V All the world is biscuit shaped. . .

Someone recently proposed starting a group on chaos, dynamical systems, and
fractals. I replied: "use the existing group comp.theory.dynamic-sys". I have
been receiving email saying: "I con't find that group", "it is not on the
most recent list of newsgroups", etc. Does someone know the truth about it?
At our site, there was a recent message on the group, but it was only
an exchange about sending test messages.

Gerald asks about the dyamic-sys newsgroup. I've posted to it, and received replies to my posting. That was over a month ago. It may not be carried everywhere for some reason, but it *is* in existence. Doug ---

If you don't know what that means (I don't) try asking your sys admin. -- Gerald A.
