Topics: The discipline of 'Complex Systems' studies how collective behavior emerges due to interaction of the parts of a system. You will learn the basic concepts and methods of complex system research. Both historical and present-day approaches will be mentioned. It will be emphasized that since many systems of very different fields, such as physics, chemistry, biology, economics, psychology and sociology etc. have similar architecture, very different phenomena of nature and society can be analyzed and understood by using a common approach called 'systems thinking'.
