Based on actual, ongoing research into artificial life, the projects in this work include actual programs in BASIC, C and Pascal that can be used to duplicate artificial life forms on the PC. Rietman covers the mathematical techniques used by scientists for simulating a variety of complex, dynamic systems: biochemical genetic codes, amino acids and proteins, computer viruses, self-organizing systems, autonomous robots, mathematical bioforms, artificial ecology, and more.
