INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE – SUMMER SCHOOL
Complexity, or the “study of complex
systems” is a new discipline, which has
emerged out of the need to understand complicated problems of the Natural and
Social Sciences. These problems generally involve many coupled variables and are
characterized by unpredictable time evolution and/or highly intricate
spatial patterns. In recent years, efforts to solve such problems have led
to the development of the analytical, numerical and experimental methods of Nonlinear
Dynamical Systems, Chaos Theory and Fractal Geometry.
