Madison Chaos and Complex Systems Discussion Group

2025 Discussions

The Chaos and Complex Systems Seminar has morphed into an informal discussion group following the pattern of earlier summers. Each week, we have an assigned topic, a facilitator, and a web-accessible reading or video. The reading or video should take no more than 20 minutes, and the facilitator should be prepared to give at most a 5-minute introduction to the topic and lead the ensuing discussion. All discussions are Tuesday noon at the Memorial Union (on the Terrace under the  big tree in the summer, otherwise indoors as announced in Today in the Union posted at the building entrance). Anyone interested in facilitating or suggesting a topic should contact Peter Sobol.
