Complexity Explained
Author: Peter Erdi
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540357785
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
This book explains why complex systems research is important in understanding the structure, function and dynamics of complex natural and social phenomena. It illuminates how complex collective behavior emerges from the parts of a system, due to the interaction between the system and its environment. Readers will learn the basic concepts and methods of complex system research. The book is not highly technical mathematically, but teaches and uses the basic mathematical notions of dynamical system theory, making the book useful for students of science majors and graduate courses.

Molecular Descriptors in QSAR/QSPR
Author: Mati Karelson
Publisher: Wiley-Interscience
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Molecular descriptors are mathematical values that describe the structure or shape of molecules, helping predict the activity and properties of molecules in complex experiments. This book describes the equations known as QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationships) and QSPR (quantitative structure-property relationships), showing how they can be used productively in a wide range of industries.

Emergence, Complexity, and Self-organization
Author: Alicia Juarrero
Publisher: Isce Publishing
ISBN: 9780984216482
Category : Complexity (Philosophy)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Emergence, Complexity, and Self-Organization have become vital focuses of interest not only in the fields of science and philosophy but also in the wider worlds of business and politics. This book presents a series of essays by thinkers who anticipated the significance of those issues and laid the foundations for their current importance. Readers of this book will encounter the important and varied figures of Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, Charles Saunders Peirce, Henry Poincaré, Henri Bergson, Alfred North Whitehead, and the British "Emergentists" Samuel Alexander, C. Lloyd Morgan, and C. D. Broad. They will also find essays by the South African thinker and statesman Jan Smuts, the American philosopher Arthur Lovejoy, the eminent physicist Erwin Schrödinger, two more recent thinkers on emergence, P. E. Meehl and Wilfred Sellars, and Ludwig von Bertalanffy, one of the founders of General Systems Theory. In their detailed and comprehensive introduction to the collection, editors Alicia Juarrero and Carl A. Rubino set the essays in contexts stretching from Heraclitus, Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, and Hegel to some of the religious, scientific, and philosophical challenges we face today.

Foundations of Complex Systems
Author: G. Nicolis
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9812700439
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
Complexity is emerging as a post-Newtonian paradigm for approaching a large body of phenomena of concern at the crossroads of physical, engineering, environmental, life and human sciences from a unifying point of view. This book outlines the foundations of modern complexity research as it arose from the cross-fertilization of ideas and tools from nonlinear science, statistical physics and numerical simulation. It is shown how these developments lead to an understanding, both qualitative and quantitative, of the complex systems encountered in nature and in everyday experience and, conversely, how natural complexity acts as a source of inspiration for progress at the fundamental level.

Foundations Of Complex Systems: Emergence, Information And Prediction (2nd Edition)
Author: Gregoire Nicolis
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814458163
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
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.
