Roughly speaking, a system is a collection of interacting elements making up a whole such as, for instance, a mechanical clock. While many systems may be quite complicated, they are not necessarily considered to be complex. Today, most authors agree on the essential properties a system has to possess to be called complex. The ?rst section is devoted to the description of these properties. To interpret the time evolution of a system, scientists build up models, which are simpli?ed mathematical representations of the system. The exact purpose of a model and what its essential features should be is explained in the second section. The mathematical models that will be discussed in this book are dynami- 1 calsystems. A dynamical system is essentially a set of equations whose- lutiondescribesthe evolution,asafunction oftime, ofthe state ofthe system. There exist di?erent types of dynamical systems. Some of them are de?ned in the third section. 1 There is an extensive literature on mathematical modeling. The reader may, for example, consult [11,88,163,233].\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59755913543761,"sku":"1461426812","price":129600.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6455\/3809\/files\/510tTm2uQ6L.jpg?v=1783393085","url":"https:\/\/provetodo.cl\/es-cl\/products\/libro-modeling-complex-systems-graduate-texts-in-physics","provider":"Provetodo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
