FOUNDATIONS OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS, 2ED

This book provides a self-contained presentation of the physical and mathematical laws governing complex systems. Complex systems arising in natural, engineering, environmental, life and social sciences are approached from a unifying point of view using an array of methodologies such as microscopic and macroscopic level formulations, deterministic and probabilistic tools, modeling and simulation. The book can be used as a textbook by graduate students, researchers and teachers in science, as well as non-experts who wish to have an overview of one of the most open, markedly interdisciplinary and fast-growing branches of present-day science.

List of contents

The Phenomenology of Complex Systems; Deterministic View; Probabilistic Description; Complexity, Entropy and Information; Prediction; Selected Topics; Exercises and Problems; Suggestions for Further Reading.
