About the Author :
Prof. Claudius Gros holds a chair in theoretical physics at the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. After completing a PhD in theoretical condensed-matter physics in 1988 at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland, Prof. Gros went as Chester-Davies fellow to Indiana University, US, before returning to Germany. His present research interests include Cognitive System Theory and Solid State Physics, with emphasis on high-temperature superconductors.

Review :
From the reviews: "This is a very interesting introductory book written for a broad audience of graduate students in natural sciences and engineering. It can be equally well used both for teaching and self-education. ... very well structured and every topic is illustrated by simple and motivating examples. This is a true guidebook to the world of complex nonlinear phenomena. ... Every chapter is followed by theoretical and computational exercises (with detailed solutions presented at the end of the book) and a list of references for further reading." (Ilya Pavlyukevich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1146, 2008) "Claudius Gros's Complex and Adaptive Dynamical Systems: A Primer is a welcome addition to the literature. ... A particular strength of the book is its emphasis on analytical techniques for studying complex systems. ... Gros's book is for a fairly advanced and mathematically sophisticated audience ... in the field. ... Complex and Adaptive Dynamical Systems could be a fine option for well-prepared students looking for a focused introduction to complex systems ... ." (David P. Feldman, Physics Today, July, 2009) From the reviews of the second edition: "This is the second edition of a nicely written and generously illustrated text introducing the reader to a wide variety of topics related to dynamics of complex dynamical systems. ... The book can be used both for self-education and as a reading for a course on complex systems; the choice of material is quite flexible due to the reduced dependence among the chapters ... . The text should attract attention of graduate students and scientists working in natural sciences, engineering and neuroscience." (Yuri V. Rogovchenko, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1232, 2012)
