This lecture aims at providing an answer that can be given to the following five key questions: 1) Why a crowd is a \social, hence complex," system? 2) How mathematical sciences can contribute to understand the \behavioral dynamics of crowds"? 3) How the crowd behaves in extreme situations such as panic and how models can depict them? 4) Can a crowd be subject to large deviations (black swan)? 5) By which mathematical tools multiscale features of a crowd can be treated? The answer to the key question takes advantage of recent research activity documented in the five titles in the bibliography. The answer opens to challenging research perspectives. [1] B.N. and C.
