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.
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...
評分 評分从小到大,我们学习的知识大部分是垂直领域的,数学,物理,化学,计算机,经济......。而《复杂》这本书从一种横向认识世界的角度,讲述了一些列通用的科学思想,类似哲学,又超越空空的哲学。 主要包括: 混沌,从数学上说明了世界是不确定的,极小的偏差即导致了极大的不同...
評分虽然副标题写着“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...
類比章節我很喜歡,可能是寫程序的人對這種題材比較敏感,其他章節都是科普故事居多,故事如此歸置在一起,用來作為科普入門書倒是不錯,可以一讀。
评分故事和知識閤理分配,非常易懂的科普書。讓我重溫瞭很多以前似懂非懂的概念。model那部分強烈感受到在上simulating language感覺,結果隨手搜瞭下,發現Simon還真的引用過她的作品。後麵一些章節稍微有點冗餘。
评分雖然不算a novel scientific worldview,全麵細緻的內容讓人view things from a higher level.

评分相當不錯。介紹瞭一些前沿,但是還不夠猛!
