Helping us understand our complex world, this book presents key
findings in quantitative complex system science. Its approach is
modular and phenomenology driven. Examples of phenomena treated
in the book include the small world phenomenon in social and
scale-free networks; life at the edge of chaos; the concept of
living dynamical systems; and emotional diffusive control within
cognitive system theory. Each chapter includes exercises to test
your grasp of new material. Written at an introductory level, the
author provides an accessible entry for graduate students in
physics, mathematics, and theoretical computer science.
