The author explains how basic systems principles are applied in engineered (mechanical, electromechanical, etc.) systems and then guides the reader to understand how the same principles can be applied to social, political, economic systems, as well as in everyday life. Readers from a variety of disciplines will benefit from the understanding of system behaviors and will be able to apply those principles in various contexts. The book includes many examples covering various types of systems. The treatment of the subject is non-mathematical, and the book considers some of the latest concepts in the systems discipline, such as agent-based systems, optimization, and discrete events and procedures. · Shows how system knowledge may be applied in many different areas without the need for deep mathematical knowledge; · Demonstrates how to model and simulate system behaviors on personal computers with readily available software packages; · Considers the various ways of optimizing system behavior; · Discusses the benefits of systems with highly distributed intelligence and the ways in which they may be modeled; · Considers how to incorporate discrete events and sequential steps in system dynamics; · Discusses the difference between holistic and reductionist world view. . 606 $aEngineering?Vocational guidance 606 $aVibration 606 $aDynamics 606 $aDynamics 606 $aComputers and civilization 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aSociophysics 606 $aEconophysics 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aJob Careers in Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T13009 606 $aVibration, Dynamical Systems, Control$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15036 606 $aComputers and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24040 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 606 $aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030 606 $aComplexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022 615 0$aEngineering?Vocational guidance. 615 0$aVibration. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aComputers and civilization. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 0$aSociophysics. 615 0$aEconophysics. 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 14$aJob Careers in Science and Engineering. 615 24$aVibration, Dynamical Systems, Control. 615 24$aComputers and Society. 615 24$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 615 24$aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building. 615 24$aComplexity. 676 $a004 676 $a502.3 676 $a620 676 $a621 676 $a658.40301 700 $aGhosh$b Asish$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062002 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299837203321 996 $aDynamic Systems for Everyone$92521961 997 $aUNINA
