Modeling Complex Systems (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)

Modeling Complex Systems (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book explores the process of modeling complex systems in the widest sense of that term, drawing on examples from such diverse fields as ecology, epidemiology, sociology, seismology, as well as economics. It also provides the mathematical tools for studying the dynamics of these systems. Boccara takes a carefully inductive approach in defining what it means for a system to be "complex" (and at the same time addresses the equally elusive concept of emergent properties). This is the first text on the subject to draw comprehensive conclusions from such a wide range of analogous phenomena.

Book Info
Text shows how models of complex systems are built up, and provides the mathematical tools indispensible for studying their dynamics. For advanced undergraduate students in most scientific disciplines, graduate students, and researchers. Includes index, references, and exercises. DLC: System theory--Mathematical models.
