Infos

This primer has been developed with the aim of conveying a wide range of "common-sense" knowledge in the field of quantitative complex system science. It provides an entry point to this both fascinating and vitally important subject at an introductory level.

Autor

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.
