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.
不同的学科对于同样的事物往往展现了不同的分析角度和思考深度。比如在经济学教科书中往往会有这样的例子,在一个人口众多的城市中,从来没有一个负责统筹调度食物的中央机构,但是市民的餐饮问题还是自然而然地解决了,经济学把这一现象的原因解释为市场的力量,每一个自利的...
评分虽然副标题写着“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...
评分因为学长推荐看的这本书,一开始看目录看到基因、遗传、混沌等词语的时候以为是本很“复杂” 的理论书籍。然而,当真正翻开书的时候,才发现这是一本纪实性科普——对复杂性科学的科普。书中涉及了计算机、数学、物理学、生物学等多个领域的内容,念书的时候学到的概念公式,在...
评分 评分作为一个研究复杂系统行为的人,我读此书时格外认真。自从在北京三联书店时光咖啡馆邂逅这本书,屈指算来,大概断断续续读了有一个月。 当我们说我们研究系统,通常并不是指非常简单的系统。因为那样的系统很容易理解,很容易模拟。因此本书书名很恰当--复杂。复杂系统普遍有...
很久没有读到这种‘想要一口气读完‘的书
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complex system: a system in which large networks of components with no central control and simple rules of operation give rise to complex collective behavior, sophisticated information processing, and adaptation via learning or evolution. https://sivers.org/book/Complexity
