Ecosystems, the human brain, ant colonies, and economic networks
are all complex systems displaying collective behaviour, or
emergence, beyond the sum of their parts. Complexity science is the
systematic investigation of these emergent phenomena, and stretches
across disciplines, from physics and mathematics, to biological and
social sciences. This introductory textbook provides detailed
coverage of this rapidly growing field, accommodating readers from
a variety of backgrounds, and with varying levels of mathematical
skill. Part I presents the underlying principles of complexity
science, to ensure students have a solid understanding of the
conceptual framework. The second part introduces the key
mathematical tools central to complexity science, gradually
developing the mathematical formalism, with more advanced material
provided in boxes. A broad range of end of chapter problems and
extended projects offer opportunities for homework assignments and
student research projects, with solutions available to instructors
online. Key terms are highlighted in bold and listed in a glossary
for easy reference, while annotated reading lists offer the option
for extended reading and research.
