Systems: Theory and Practice

Meer over het boek

The book explores the pervasive concept of "system" across various scientific disciplines, highlighting its significance in fields such as mathematics, engineering, and biology. It critiques the fragmented approach to systems theory in academic curricula, particularly in Central Europe, where it is often relegated to sub-disciplines or narrowly defined by mathematicians. Emphasizing the need for a cohesive understanding, the book advocates for recognizing systems theory as an interdisciplinary science, promoting efficiency and collaboration across fields to avoid redundant development of concepts and methods.
