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
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...
评分希尔伯特问题:前两条其实就是克里特人都是说谎者悖论,由哥德尔解决。第三条由图灵解决,我看不懂。 1、数学是不是完备的。是不是所有数学命题都可以用一组有限的公理证明或证否。 2、数学是不是一致的?是不是可以证明的都是真命题? 3、是不是所有命题都是数学可判定的? 第...
评分2019.1.5 由于作者是计算机科学的专业人士,本书偏重于计算机方面的知识,而且相当细节和广泛。对一般读者仅仅需要了解大概即可。 单个体很简单,群体可以很复杂,系统的复杂性可以从众多例子看到,如行军蚁,免疫系统等等。 亚里士多德,伽利略,牛顿的动力学延伸发展出庞加莱...
评分啃了几个星期,终于陆陆续续看完了。烧脑程度算是中等,虽然有的地方懵懵懂懂,不得要点,但也算是能基本理解。对于复杂性科学有了大致的印象,我感觉复杂性科学是一种科学与哲学的混合体。 与一般意义上的科学相比,它尚未发展到精确的地步,其中的很多概念,如复杂性,涌现,...
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。
评分相当不错。介绍了一些前沿,但是还不够猛!
评分比GEB差远了,大家自己简简单单能明白的东西讲懂了,大家自己搞不明白的东西却讲不懂。最后一章总结还不如不写…读完了让人感觉复杂性科学完完全全就是随便造了几个名词的伪科学
评分解答了我对于复杂系统的很多疑问 在这个领域应该算很好的入门教材了吧?
评分很久没有读到这种‘想要一口气读完‘的书
