Course objectives
The goal of the summer school is to provide an intensive introduction to the study of complex behavior in mathematical, physical, and living systems, with particular emphasis on mathematical and computational modelling techniques. The school presents the core concepts and techniques of complex systems, together with the work in progress of researchers applying these ideas to specific problems. This training is designed to provide a solid understanding of traditional disciplines combined with a new view of complexity. In this way the school is intended to attract, stimulate, and educate the best young scientists as they begin to define their own research programs.
 
Course level, target audience
Applications are solicited from graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in any discipline, but with some background in science and mathematics at least at the undergraduate level (including calculus and linear algebra). A review of relevant mathematics will be given at the beginning of the course. Women, minorities, and students from developing countries are especially encouraged to apply.
 
During the four weeks of the school, participants are introduced to the basic ideas and techniques central to research in complex systems. The school begins with a review of mathematics ranging from calculus and differential equations to probability and statistics.
