Description

For more than twenty-five years, An Introduction to General Systems Thinking has been hailed as an innovative introduction to systems theory, with applications in computer science and beyond. Used in university courses and professional seminars in all places the world, the text has proven its ability to open minds and sharpen thinking.

Originally published in 1975 and reprinted more than twenty times over a quarter century — and now to be had for the first time from Dorset House Publishing — the text uses clear writing and basic algebraic principles to explore new approaches to projects, products, organizations, and virtually any roughly system.

Scientists, engineers, organization leaders, managers, doctors, students, and thinkers of all disciplines can use this book to dispel the mental fog that clouds problem-solving. As writer Gerald M. Weinberg writes in the new preface to the Silver Anniversary Edition, “I haven’t changed my conviction that most of the people don’t think nearly in addition to they could had they been taught some principles of thinking.”

Now an award-winning writer of nearly forty books spanning all of the software development life cycle, Weinberg had already acquired extensive experience as a programmer, manager, university professor, and consultant when this book used to be originally published.

With helpful illustrations, a large number of end-of-chapter exercises, and an appendix on a mathematical notation used in problem-solving, An Introduction to General Systems Thinking could also be your most powerful tool in working with problems, systems, and solutions.
