As science probes the nature of life, society, and technology ever more closely, what it finds there is complexity. The sophisticated group behavior of social insects, the unexpected intricacies of the genome, the dynamics of population growth, and the self-organized structure of the World Wide Web - these are just a few examples of complex systems that still elude scientific understanding. Comprehending such systems seems to require a wholly new approach, one that goes beyond traditional scientific reductionism and that re-maps long-standing disciplinary boundaries. This remarkably accessible and companionable book, written by a leading complex systems scientist, provides an intimate, detailed tour of the sciences of complexity, a broad set of efforts that seek to explain how large-scale complex, organized, and adaptive behavior can emerge from simple interactions among myriad individuals. In this richly illustrated work, Melanie Mitchell describes in equal parts the history of ideas underlying complex systems science, the current research at the forefront of this field, and the prospects for the field's contribution to solving some of the most important scientific questions of our current century.
Melanie Mitchell is a professor of computer science at Portland State University. She has worked at the Santa Fe Institute and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Her major work has been in the areas of analogical reasoning, complex systems, genetic algorithms and cellular automata, and her publications in those fields are frequently cited
《复杂》我已经读完快两周了,前几天终于敲打完了读书笔记,笔记共计13048字,链接见文末。 书籍的英文原名为《Complexity: A Guided Tour》,作者 Melanie Mitchell 这本书的庞杂程度,直让我想起去年读的《万物创世》,我不知道怎样横向比较这两本书的信息量,就像书里提到...
评分1.根据热力学第二定律 孤立系统的熵永不自动减少,熵在可逆过程中不变,在不可逆过程中增加。 2.世界只能从有序到无序。 生命来源于有序的太阳能量。 3.生命的不断创造把局部无序变为有序, 让整体更无序 。例 空调运行热量运行。 4.人类的意义在于为了更快...
评分原发布于本人[博客](http://wulfric.me/2016/06/complexity-guide/) 刚下过一场小雨,天空正在变晴,空气还是湿漉漉的,落叶上的水珠苍翠欲滴。这是难得的空闲,你点上一支烟,抬起了头。今天的天空有些奇怪,那蓝色似乎与往日不同。失真的色彩让你陷入了沉思,往事如潮水般...
评分 评分虽然副标题写着“读完《复杂》”,但其实这本书中很多和生物、遗传、免疫等我不太感兴趣的内容我都是胡乱看过去的。 复杂性科学很是庞杂,回想刚刚读完的这本书,我觉得作者真得写了很多东西,我都不能用简短且概括的几句话把它转述出来。所以下面很长一部分是和书的内容有关的...
类比章节我很喜欢,可能是写程序的人对这种题材比较敏感,其他章节都是科普故事居多,故事如此归置在一起,用来作为科普入门书倒是不错,可以一读。
评分每个博士都有老板,(不管是老板、导师还是后爹),她的是写《哥德尔、埃舍尔、巴赫》的那位神。。。挺好的复杂科学科普读物:一点复杂科学哲学和许多复杂科学小故事。想抄一个学术用的复杂定义的朋友可以见13页。
评分很好的入门书
评分进化论、计算的章节比较喜欢,物理领域涉及不多。作者讲故事的功力真心深厚,理论的来龙去脉十分清晰。好书一本。
