==Trip to a museum==
On weekend (Saturday?) I'm planning to visit the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum; after that I'm going to see some more of Santa Fe (no plan yet -- waiting for proposals). Anyone interested?
Cheers,
Piotr

==Road Trip to Boulder, Colorado==

From Gareth: Hi all, I'm planning on making a trip up to Boulder, CO for the weekend. It's about a 6 1/2 hr drive from Santa Fe and I'll be renting a car. My main reason for the trip is to see a friend of mine so you might have to sort your own accommodation (camping/youth hostel/hotel). We're planning on a bit of hiking nearby. The plan is to leave straight from class on Friday evening and arrive back in Santa Fe on Sunday eve. If you're interested in splitting petrol and rental fee and joining me for some Springsteen singalongs then sign up:

==Dancing==

Swing dancing on Monday 18th June.
Lessons from 7 to 8 P.M.
Dancing from 8 on wards.
The cost is $8 including the lesson and dancing (or $3 for the dancing). Venue: Odd Fellows Hall, 1125 Cerrillos Road. We have not yet decided on transportation. We could either take a cab or walk -- Let's try to decide during dinner.
Sign up below if you are interested:

1.Vikram -- Slightly biased towards taking the lesson. 
2. Xue -- dancing, though not a strong preference. 
3. Mark - I could use a lesson, or twelve. Do we have transportation? 
4. Chloe -- would rather walk down with everyone than skip the lesson. 
5. Aleksandra -- would try lesson, may be stay for dancing. 

PS: If you are on the edge because you want to attend the session on "Introduction to Python". I would be happy to walk you through the basics of Python at a later time. -- Vikram

PPS: how about a Dancing Python lunch tomorrow? I can do intro tutoring too. --Chloe

Other varieties --

There's a contra on the 23rd; swing dancing most Mondays; this is supposed to be a great tango town, and the drop-in-friendly beginner class on Thursday PM was good ($20, though).

We've heard great Appalachian-style folk musicians here already, but I haven't found a ceili or hoedown locally.

CBrummitt: /* An easier way to get a bifurcation plot */

{{Complex Systems Summer School 2012}}

CSSS participants come from a wide range of disciplines. Participants are encouraged to share their knowledge by organizing their own tutorials.

Also, please post requests for tutorials here.

==Python, Computational Mechanics, and Information Theory==

There has been interest in more discussion on a number of topics, and so i'm offering to have evening discussions on them. please sign up below so that i can get a feel for the number of people who would be attending. also, please put a preference for what day it should be.

===Python===
Sign up below if you'd like an introduction to basic python programming. Python is a general purpose, very flexible and useful programming language. It is used pretty extensively in scientific computing.

dan wu: wu12345@gmail.com Let me know when we're meeting

- Benji: bzusman@gmail.com 

-Keegan

-Christa (maybe- I'm competent at the very basics, but could still use some help)

-Riccardo

- Oleksandr: krystoferivanov@gmail.com

- Nona: nona.karalashvili@gmail.com

===Information Theory===
Interested in turning your data into bits, or seeing how the bits over there are related to the bits over here? If so, sign up below. 
- Matteo

- Benji: bzusman@gmail.com

-Keegan

-Riccardo

-Christa

===Computational Mechanics===
If you'd like to know more about epsilon machines, measures of complexity, how to go from a map to a machine, i'm happy to discuss it all. 
- Matteo

Yes please! --Chloe

-Keegan

-Christa

==Order Book Dynamics: Learn how to trade in 15min==

--I'm happy to repeat this -just get in touch with me.--

If you are curious about how stocks trade and want to try your luck, I'll
be going over some of the basics with a hands-on example.

Meet at 7.30pm in main lecture hall Thursday June 7th. Please make sure
to bring your laptop.

==An easier way to get a bifurcation plot==

Hey guys
I have been working in the past in obtaining bifurcation plots for different physical systems. There's a better way to get these pictures instead of getting the evolution at every parameter value of interest. This is called ''numerical continuation'' and basically involves tracking a curve. I plan to give a informal talk on how to do this and maybe even a demo on applying this technique on 14th June at 6.30 pm. Do mail me if you are interested at '''iitm.priya@gmail.com''' or sign up below.
[[User:Priya|Priya]]

- [[Ryan James|Ryan]] is interested in this. 
- Riccardo is interested in this. 
- Vikram is interested in this. 
- Matteo is interested in this. 
- Hide is interested in this. 
- Katrien wants to hear more about this. 
- Cameron is interested in this and would like to see [http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xpp/id433859546?mt=8 this] in action if anyone has an iPad. 
- Oscar is interested in this. 
- Charlie is interested in this. (I've done this once for a paper.) 

==Using Tisean on R on OS X==
first install TISEAN, like you've done already. Make sure R is up to date (v 2.15).
you can try to install RTisean from CRAN
install.packages("RTisean"); library(RTisean); henon()
But me and Dave both got an error about some bad file name, something about con and something about a long path involving -Tmp-
Solution:
remove.packages("RTisean")
restart R
download this: http://cl.ly/0I0b2P2L311y1q0q0y0n
install it, it changes line 74 of nativeTISEAN.R which has some problems with file handling
If you are golden, then:

Complex Systems Summer School 2012-TShirts

CBrummitt: /* 2012 CSSS T-Shirt Design Submissions */

{{Complex Systems Summer School 2012}}

Every year we have a T-shirt design contest, where CSSS Students create designs (relevant to the summer school) and during the end of the second week we vote on the one we will print and distribute to the cohort. Please post your T-shirt design below. The design will be printed on a single colored T-shirt (keep in mind which color T-shirt you would like to print on while planning your design). The print that will go on the T-shirt is limited to a two color back and a one color front.

Have fun and be creative!

Urania blowing seeds of complexity

This is a draft I prepared a late evening some time before the CSSS. I didn't know at that time that the dorms have muse names and that I'll end up in the Urania...

Urania was the muse of Astronomy and also the Muse of Mathematics. she was often depicted holding a globe in her hands. In this case the cubist face and hands of Urania are borrowed from Picasso and she holds a SFI globe/dandelion flower head, on which she blows in order to disperse the seeds of complexity.

In my view this would need some serious polishing and volunteers to do so are welcome! Feedbacks also!

Cheers, Nick Goudemand

Crystals are a prime manifestation of complexity. The design (front and back) represents crystals grown in cell culture dishes as seen under the microscope. The picture on the right has been mapped on a canvas with polar coordinates to show more symmetrical structure and avoid having a beginning and an end. (One from Georg Weber)

'''Photo caption''': In my last summer adventure, I did research with a Korean statistical physics group in Seoul, through an NSF summer program. In this photo, the students in the research group and I hiked for a day above the city (faintly visible through the fog/smog) while our professor was out of town. Which one is me should be pretty obvious!

Email address: [mailto:brummitt@gmail.com brummitt@gmail.com]

I'm a third-year PhD student in applied math at UC Davis. I study cascades in networks, in both technological systems (such as power grids) and in social ones. A big question for infrastructure systems like power, water, transportation, finance, and so on, is to determine what amount of interdependence balances the benefits of interdependence (such as economies of scale and shared risk) and detriments (such as risk of large, spreading crises). For social systems, I've studied how things go viral, and with increasing ease as we connect in more ways. I'm really excited about work I'm beginning to do on innovation and collaborative problem solving in social networks.

I recently attended two conferences on power grids in Santa Fe, and I'm working on models of blackouts in interdependent power grids. But at the summer school I'm considering doing a project that extends the work I've recently begun on innovation in social networks, hopefully using feedback and ideas from people at the summer school.

I've done some work for Wolfram Research, so I have some pretty good Mathematica skills to share with others. I'm looking forward to exploring Santa Fe's outdoors by foot and by bike (both mountain and road) and to all the spicy red and green chile.
