Abstract: The term complexity is used informally both as a quality and as a
quantity. As a quality, complexity has something to do with our ability to
understand a system or object -- we understand simple systems, but not complex
ones. On another level, complexity is used as a quantity, when we talk about
something being more complicated than another. In this chapter, we explore the
formalisation of both meanings of complexity, which happened during the latter
half of the twentieth century.
