Part of the bestselling Very Short Introductions series - over six million copies sold worldwide
The importance of complexity is well-captured by Hawking's comment: "Complexity is the science of the 21st century". From the movement of flocks of birds to the Internet, environmental sustainability, and market regulation, the study and understanding of complex non-linear systems has become highly influential over the last 30 years.
In this Very Short Introduction, one of the leading figures in the field, John Holland, introduces the key elements and conceptual framework of complexity. From complex physical systems such as fluid flow and the difficulties of predicting weather, to complex adaptive systems such as the highly diverse and interdependent ecosystems of rainforests, he combines simple, well-known examples — Adam Smith's pin factory, Darwin's comet orchid, and Simon's 'watchmaker' — with an account of the approaches, involving agents and urn models, taken by complexity theory.
John H. Holland, Professor, Department of Psychology and Department of Computer Science, The University of Michigan
John H. Holland is a leading figure in the field of complexity science who pioneered genetic algorithms. He is Professor of Psychology and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Michigan, and a member of the Board of Trustees and Science Board of the Santa Fe Institute. He is also the author of Emergence (OUP, 1999).
沒怎麼讀懂,功力不夠,再學學數理化生一定會重讀的。
評分寫得比較亂,不夠係統和深入
評分三星是給閱讀體驗,書本身也許好些。確實是簡介,未免太簡,一個公式沒有,讀到後頭淪為做英語閱讀理解題。與其叫introduction不如叫summary,有基礎的內行讀者纔能領會行文的用意吧。第一章值得反復讀,復雜物理係統與復雜適應係統的分類很有啓發。
評分復雜性的概念好有趣,看完書再轉而觀察周遭,許多故事都顯得更加閤理起來。不過書中的概念真的很艱澀,文科生讀起來有點費勁哈哈~
