Features: This book primarily introduces the fundamental ideas of systems analysis and synthesis methods. Through numerous examples, it explains the basic principles of systems thinking and the refined, useful holistic approach of systems analysis methods. It elaborates on the background of systems analysis, its content (problems, boundaries and environment, dynamic evolution and its modes of evolution), and finally introduces the author's research on one of these methods—the self-organizing method. The book consists of four chapters and a conclusion. It breaks down the boundaries between various disciplines of systems science, integrating various concepts and ideas of systems science, with problems as the main thread, introducing systems thinking and systems methods. To help readers understand the relatively abstract research and methods of systems science, the book uses diagrams, tables, and illustrative methods to explain some abstract principles, concepts, and analytical processes in a popular way. It also cites several cases and guides readers to delve deeper through in-depth analysis of these cases, aiming to provide university students with a broad perspective, a comprehensive way of thinking, and a practical method. This book is suitable for college and university students, cadres, and readers interested in systems science.
