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.
《复杂》我已经读完快两周了,前几天终于敲打完了读书笔记,笔记共计13048字,链接见文末。 书籍的英文原名为《Complexity: A Guided Tour》,作者 Melanie Mitchell 这本书的庞杂程度,直让我想起去年读的《万物创世》,我不知道怎样横向比较这两本书的信息量,就像书里提到...
评分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...

1.Halting problem与哥德尔不完备定理的证明在概念上是相通甚至等价的。2.自然中的计算是复杂系统为适应性而对信息的处理。3.Cellular automata的碰撞线本身是信息的传递和处理。4.复杂系统最终能形成科学的真正挑战是是否能有可解释自组织、涌现等现象的概念体系和数学工具(相当于微积分对牛顿力学意义上的)。
评分好像看错书了=。。=
评分虽然不算a novel scientific worldview,全面细致的内容让人view things from a higher level.
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
评分很好的入门书
