Chaos and complexity : discovering the surprising patterns of science and technology

by Brian Kaye

This work examines the physics and design of various projectiles, including golf balls, arrows, and rockets. It explains the scientific principles behind their flight and behaviours, such as why golf balls have dimples and how boomerangs return to the thrower.
