This course explores the features of complexity science. Our world is connected by an abundance of complex systems. Across all levels of organizations from physical, biological world to the social world, we may think of the connectivity between individual elements and how they interact and influence each other. For example, how humans transmit pandemics within a group, how cars interact in the traffic system and how networks connect in governmental organizations. Although these systems are diverse and different, they have surprisingly huge features in common.

完成時間為 5 小時
Course Overview and Week 1: Introduction to Complex Systems
An overview of what is covered in the first topic: an introduction to complex systems, explaining how complexity science has evolved, how it has been applied in society, and why it is important to gain a basic understanding of complex systems. Like for all sciences, complexity science is not a spectators' sport. After learning models and methods from the lectures, you will need to try some of these out to develop a practical feel for what they mean and what they can do. This is where the Jupyter Notebook exercises come in. In this course week, we will try out two Jupyter Notebook exercises, on: (1) the Nagel-Schreckenberg model of vehicular traffic, and (2) the Game of Life.
