Features: The status of systems science and systems engineering in contemporary Chinese science is crucial, which I have already noticed during my visit to China. During the visit, the way Chinese people think and solve problems left a deep impression on me. I am confident that this way of thinking will spread throughout the world. —Hermann Haken
This book comprehensively introduces the fundamental theories, applied theories, and engineering applications of systems science, with a focus on the fundamental theories. It systematically elaborates on the dynamic system theory (including bifurcation, chaos, etc.) that has universal significance for the structure, function, and evolution of various systems, as well as self-organization theory, stochastic theory, and the theories of simple giant systems, complex adaptive systems, and open complex giant systems. It also briefly introduces system engineering technologies such as information theory, cybernetics, operations research, and systems engineering methodology. This book can serve as a textbook for university students majoring in systems science, systems engineering, management engineering, computer-related engineering technologies, and management-related fields. It can also be used as a training textbook and self-study reference for managers, engineering and technical personnel, and research personnel.
