SUMMARY

Vladimir G. Ivancevic is the author of "Natural Biodynamics" and "Applied Differential Geometry: A Modern Introduction." Concerns regarding his credibility stem from the limited biographical information available and the complexity of his work, particularly in the PDF document related to crowd modeling. Despite skepticism, he is associated with the Australian government, suggesting a level of expertise. Readers are encouraged to explore his books to assess their value and learn from his insights into geometric dynamics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of differential geometry concepts
  • Familiarity with biodynamic principles
  • Basic knowledge of crowd behavior dynamics
  • Ability to interpret academic papers and technical documents
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Natural Biodynamics" to explore its core principles
  • Study "Applied Differential Geometry: A Modern Introduction" for advanced mathematical concepts
  • Research geometric dynamics in crowd behavior
  • Examine related academic papers on crowd modeling and dynamics
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and professionals in mathematics, physics, and social sciences who are interested in advanced theoretical concepts and their applications in understanding crowd behavior.

Hi!

I am curious about two books which seem really great, but somehow I became sceptical of the authors. Are they credible and does the books make any sense?

They are "Natural Biodynamics" and "Applied Differential Geometry: A Modern Introduction".

One reason of my (paranoid) suspicions is that I can't find any information about the persons other than the works they have done, i.e links to the books. The other reason is a document I downloaded which doesn't make much sense to me:
(The link is to a PDF document, do right click and save if you want to download it, or left click if your browser can view PDF)

Can anyone confirm the author(s) as credible? If so, he (they) seem incredible! :D

It seems like the man is employed by the Australian government, so that could be a reason for the lack of biography. He's probably somewhat of a genious and I feel a little stupid for questioning the legimity of his work.. Will read the books and see if I learn something. :D
 
Having briefly read through the .pdf it appears his work involves understanding the geometric dynamics of crowd behavior.
 
Hi,

How were the books ?:confused:
