Abstract: 
What is common to the power-grid, stock markets, lynch mobs, and the human brain? They are all complex systems made up of many parts. Knowing how each part of a complex system works is not enough to tell us how the whole will behave. We will explore the "emergence" of such unexpected behaviour which is a feature of all complex systems.
