			I've posted a tutorial titled 'Interacting particle systems as (extremely) simple ABMs' for 4:30 Tuesday, June 17. I will mostly talk about analytic treatments of Voter Model and the Moran Process. I will take particular care to emphasis the decisions made in defining these problems that make them suitable for analytic treatment.

	The [[David_Foster\|Brothers]] [[Jacob_Foster\|Foster]] would be happy to offer some tutorials on analytical methods. Depending on what Alfred Hubler covers, we can do some fraction of Strogatz (flows on the line & circle, bifurcations, maybe linear systems, index theorem, etc.), as well as offering a basic introduction to solving linear ODEs (no theorems, just techniques) and simple PDEs like the heat equation, with boundary conditions. Ideally this would come after Kolbjørn's eigen-stuff course, so we can just assume familiarity with that.

	We've put a tentative time for our tutorial on the schedule: [[CSSS_2008_Santa_Fe-Schedule#Week_Three_-_FINANCE/ECONOMY\|June 16 at 3:15pm]].

	'''Update!''' Looking at the amount of material it's clear we'll have to break this into two. We'll start with a linear ODE~~/PDE~~ tutorial, going through most of the basic techniques. We'll schedule a subsequent one on non-linear techniques soon.		'''Update! Round One''' Looking at the amount of material it's clear we'll have to break this into two. We'll start with a linear ODE tutorial, going through most of the basic techniques (but not the hard-core stuff like variation of parameters). We'll schedule a subsequent one on non-linear techniques soon.

	There seems to be some interest in an introduction to the ways us free-market types think about the role of government and public policy. I'll introduce models that describe some of the most common types of market failures and the basic approaches one can take to solving (or improving) those failures. We'll survey imperfect competition, asymmetric information, and the role of property rights. You might enjoy this tutorial if you want to learn more about microeconomics, wish you understood jargon like "externalities" or "moral hazard", or if you are curious about dysfunctions in academia and policy-making in your field.

	Related to Chris' proposal above, but perhaps on the flip side, I'd be happy to give a tutorial / lead a discussion on issues where questions of complexity intersect with problems in neuroscience. I'll distinguish this topic from the idea above, in that I'll focus a bit more on bottom-up questions rather than purely theory-motivated questions. Neuroscience is a very large field, so I'll talk about some of the things I know, but encourage others to bring their own knowledge and curiosity.
