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
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.
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...
評分虽然副标题写着“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...
評分原发布于本人[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...

評分被这本书吸引的原因应该是它在第一章提出的几个问题:“为什么蚁群可以在无中央控制系统的情况下完成异常复杂的行为”,这个问题其实一直困扰了我好久,所以买来这本书期望可以一探究竟。 打开这本书才发现,蚂蚁不过是作者请君入瓮的诱饵,整本书涉及了混沌、可计算理论、热...
network隻是complexity的一部分呀
评分很久沒有讀到這種‘想要一口氣讀完‘的書
评分比GEB差遠瞭,大傢自己簡簡單單能明白的東西講懂瞭,大傢自己搞不明白的東西卻講不懂。最後一章總結還不如不寫…讀完瞭讓人感覺復雜性科學完完全全就是隨便造瞭幾個名詞的僞科學
评分進化論、計算的章節比較喜歡,物理領域涉及不多。作者講故事的功力真心深厚,理論的來龍去脈十分清晰。好書一本。
评分好像看錯書瞭=。。=
