In a broader context, it introduces and reviews some modern mathematical approaches to the science of complex systems. Standard modeling approaches (based on non-linear differential equations, dynamic systems, graph theory, cellular automata, stochastic processes, or information theory) are suitable for studying local problems. However they cannot simultaneously take into account all the different facets and phenomena of a complex system, and new approaches are required to solve the challenging problem of correlations between phenomena at different levels and hierarchies, their self-organization and memory-evolutive aspects, the growth of additional structures and are ultimately required to explain why and how such complex systems can display both robustness and flexibility.
This graduate-level text also addresses a broader interdisciplinary audience, keeping the mathematical level essentially uniform throughout the book, and involving only basic elements from calculus, algebra, geometry and systems theory.

"The general focus of this work is on complex systems with boundaries and is likely to be attractive to readers with interdisciplinary interests bridging networks and geometry, art and neuroscience, and other pairings of traditional disciplines with some, at least tangential, threads in common. ... others who also like to see geometry come to life in shimmering drops and films will find this book equally readable and enjoyable."
