6. Conclusion

The advantages of introducing "complex system" 
Geoscience is the most appropriate test field for "Complexity Science" itself.
The students can learn science through impressive new ideas and strategies.
The algorithms can be easily learned with amuse board games or PC sims.
Availability of Cellular Automata" and "Monte-Carlo Simulation" 
A simple game is so familiar with and fascinating for students.
A simple rule produces complicated and unexpected results.
Using random number or stochastic trial is novel and impressive.
PC sims can repeat calculations easily for comparing results.

  I would like to thank Dr.Mohamed Rashed for his valuable suggestion. 
  I also appreciate my geoscience class students for providing me interesting results and discussions.
