Think Complexity: Complexity Science and Computational Modeling

Expandyour Python skills by working with data structures and algorithms in arefreshing context—through an eye-opening exploration of complexity science.Whether you’re an intermediate-level Python programmer or a student ofcomputational modeling, you’ll delve into examples of complex systems through aseries of exercises, case studies, and easy-to-understand explanations.

You’llwork with graphs, algorithm analysis, scale-free networks, and cellularautomata, using advanced features that make Python such a powerful language.Ideal as a text for courses on Python programming and algorithms, ThinkComplexity will also help self-learners gain valuable experiencewith topics and ideas they might not encounter otherwise.

• Work with NumPy arrays and SciPy methods, basic signal processing and Fast Fourier Transform, and hash tables
• Study abstract models of complex physical systems, including power laws, fractals and pink noise, and Turing machines
• Get starter code and solutions to help you re-implement and extend original experiments in complexity
• Explore the philosophy of science, including the nature of scientific laws, theory choice, realism and instrumentalism, and other topics
• Examine case studies of complex systems submitted by students and readers
