In this sense, it is a departure from the many books already available that discuss general features of complexity. The book is divided in two parts. In the first part the most important properties and features of complex systems are introduced, discussed and illustrated. The second part discusses several instances of possible complex phenomena in magnetized plasmas and some of the analysis tools that were introduced in the first part are used to characterize the dynamics in these systems. A list of problems is proposed at the end of each chapter. This book is intended for graduate and post-graduate students with a solid college background in mathematics and classical physics, who intend to work in the field of plasma physics and, in particular, plasma turbulence. It will also be of interest to senior scientists who have so far approached these systems and problems from a different perspective and want a new fresh angle. 650 0 Plasma (Ionized gases) 650 0 Statistical physics. 650 0 Dynamics. 650 0 Nuclear fusion. 650 0 Planetary science. 650 0 Solar system. 650 14 Plasma Physics. |0https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24040 650 24 Complex Systems. |0https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000 650 24 Nuclear Fusion. |0https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23045 650 24 Planetary Sciences. |0https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22060 650 24 Solar and Heliospheric Physics . |0https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22070 776 08 |z94-024-1227-1 700 1 Newman, David, |eauthor. |4aut |4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 830 0 Lecture Notes in Physics, |x0075-8450 ; |v943 906 BOOK
