Description
Book SynopsisAimed at graduate students and researchers, this book offers a model-driven approach to the study and manipulation of dynamical systems. Based on an online course hosted by the Complexity Explorer, it uses analytical tools from information theory and complexity science to tackle key challenges in network and systems biology.
