All calculations are presented step by step and are easy to follow. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new fourth edition has been fully reorganized and includes new chapters, figures and exercises. The core aspects of modern complex system sciences are presented in the first chapters, covering network theory, dynamical systems, bifurcation and catastrophe theory, chaos and adaptive processes, together with the principle of self-organization in reaction-diffusion systems and social animals. Modern information theoretical principles are treated in further chapters, together with the concept of self-organized criticality, gene regulation networks, hypercycles and coevolutionary avalanches, synchronization phenomena, absorbing phase transitions and the cognitive system approach to the brain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical course prerequisites are the standard mathematical tools for an advanced undergraduate course in the natural sciences or engineering. Each chapter includes exercises and suggestions for further reading, and the solutions to all exercises are provided in the last chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the reviews of previous editions: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very interesting introductory book written for a broad audience of graduate students in natural sciences and engineering. It can be equally well used both for teac\u003c\/p\u003ehing and self-education. Very well structured and every topic is illustrated with simple and motivating examples. This is a true guidebook to the world of complex nonlinear phenomena.

A particular strength of the book is its emphasis on analytical techniques for studying complex systems. (David P.
