NECSI Summer and Winter School
Dates: June 10 - 21, 2013
Location: MIT, Cambridge, MA
Week 1: June 10-14 CX201: Complex Physical, Biological and Social Systems
Lab: June 16 CX102: Computer Programming and Complex Systems
Week 2: June 17-21 CX202: Complex Systems Modeling and Networks
NECSI's Summer and Winter Schools offer two intensive week-long courses on complex systems science and its applications. The courses consist of lecture and supervised group projects. Though the second week builds on material covered in the previous week, CX201 is not a prerequisite for CX202. You may register for either, or both weeks.
At the end of the courses, we expect participants to return to their home institution with tools relevant to their research and new insights for future work.
The CX102 lab is strongly recommended to prepare students with little computer programming experience for CX202.
Group Projects
Group projects are one of the most rewarding parts of the winter and summer courses. Participants split into project teams and put together a publication quality research project using complex systems tools learned during the week. On the final day of each week, groups present their projects. We consistently receive positive feedback about the projects.
