Spin glasses are disordered magnetic systems that have led to
the development of mathematical tools with an array of real-world
applications, from airline scheduling to neural networks. "Spin
Glasses and Complexity" offers the most concise, engaging, and
accessible introduction to the subject, fully explaining what spin
glasses are, why they are important, and how they are opening up
new ways of thinking about complexity.
This one-of-a-kind guide to spin glasses begins by explaining
the fundamentals of order and symmetry in condensed matter physics
and how spin glasses fit into--and modify--this framework. It then
explores how spin-glass concepts and ideas have found applications
in areas as diverse as computational complexity, biological and
artificial neural networks, protein folding, immune response
maturation, combinatorial optimization, and social network
modeling.
Providing an essential overview of the history, science, and
growing significance of this exciting field, S"pin Glasses and
Complexity" also features a forward-looking discussion of what spin
glasses may teach us in the future about complex systems. This is a
must-have book for students and practitioners in the natural and
social sciences, with new material even for the experts.
