SIMPLY COMPLEXITY: A CLEAR GUIDE TO COMPLEXITY THEORY
Book ID/图书代码： 09915010B35700
English Summary/英文概要： What do traffic jams, stock market crashes, and wars have in common? They are all explained using complexity, an unsolved puzzle that many researchers believe is the key to predicting - and ultimately solving - everything from terrorist attacks and pandemic viruses right down to rush hour traffic congestion. Complexity is considered by many to be the single most important scientific development since general relativity and promises to make sense of no less than the very heart of the Universe. Using it, scientists can find order emerging from seemingly random interactions of all kinds, from something as simple as flipping coins through to more challenging problems such as predicting shopping habits, the patterns in modern jazz, and the growth of cancer tumours.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 交通堵塞、股票市场崩塌和战争之间有何共性？讲起来，它们都只能用很复杂来形容，是许多学者未解的谜团，是预知和解决恐怖袭击等的关键。自广义相对论出现，复杂长久以来一直被认为比单一性科学发展要重要。科学家因而得以发现看似毫无规律中的秩序，从简单的抛硬币上升到诸如预示购物习惯的复杂问题，现代爵士的模式和癌症的滋长。(XJJ)
