Description
Natural Complexity: A Modeling Handbook provides an accessible introduction to the science of complexity through simple computational models of natural systems. By working through the models and exercises, readers can develop an understanding of how complex structures and behaviors emerge in various phenomena.
With a focus on physics, chemistry, geology, and biology, this handbook offers complete source codes in Python and detailed explanations for all computational models. It is suitable for undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and researchers in the physical and natural sciences, requiring no advanced mathematical knowledge or programming skills.
This self-contained book enables readers to identify and quantify common underlying patterns shared by diverse systems and phenomena, helping them form their own answers to questions about natural complexity and its origins.
