ANNOUNCING THE SANTA FE INSTITUTE'S
2002 COMPLEX SYSTEMS SUMMER SCHOOLS

Santa Fe School: June 9 to July 6, 2002 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
Budapest School: July 8 to August 2, 2002 in Budapest, Hungary

An intensive introduction to complex behavior in mathematical, physical,
living, and social systems for graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows in the sciences and social sciences.  Open to students in all
countries.  Students are expected to choose one school and attend the
full four weeks.  No tuition is charged.  Some support for housing and
travel expenses is also available.

Week one will consist of an intensive series of lectures and
laboratories introducing foundational ideas and tools of complex systems
research.  The topics will include nonlinear dynamics and pattern
formation, statistical mechanics and stochastic processes, information
theory and computation theory, adaptive computation, computer modeling
tools, and specific applications of these core topics to various
disciplines.  (Prior to week one there may be an optional intensive
two-day math review.)
Weeks two and three will consist of lectures on current research in
complex systems. Week four will be devoted to completion and
presentation of student projects.
