Modeling Complex Systems

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the dynamics of complex systems, this book explores the essential properties that define complexity, distinguishing it from mere complication. It delves into the concept of emergence and the role of models as simplified mathematical representations that help interpret a system's time evolution. The discussion includes various types of dynamical systems, characterized by equations that describe state changes over time. The text aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these concepts and their implications in scientific modeling.
