Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen is Professor of Mathematical Physics at Imperial College London, and leads the Centre for Complexity Science. He is a prominent expert in complexity science and is involved in a variety of high-profile research projects including the application of co-evolutionary dynamics to the modelling of socio-economical sustainability, finance, cultural evolution, innovation, and cell diversity in cancer tumour growth, and has also worked with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama to identify differences in the neuronal response of audience and performers depending on the mode of performance. He has published two books on self-organized criticality and complex systems.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 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.
