This is the blog for the Complex Systems course at Oxford. It is being taught in Trinity Term 2016 in the Mathematical Institute as part of the Masters Program in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics (MTP).

Some Review Articles among the Useful Links
I added a link to a review article on statistical physics of social dynamics. That article has a bunch of cool stuff, and you should look at some of the other links as well.
Update on Classes
I have gotten the ok to do classes in an informal way. The first class won't be during the originally scheduled Tuesday at 10 am, because that conflicts with the schedule of some people. I'll send an e-mail to figure out what time we should meet, and realistically I think we should wait until I give you more problems before we meet to discuss things.
In another revision, homework should be submitted directly by e-mail to the TA (Roxana Feier).
I will wait until after the second 2-hour lecture before I write up another problem sheet.

Lecture Notes for Parts 0 and 1 Uploaded
On the MI's page of course materials, I have uploaded lecture notes (one file) for Part 0 (introduction to complex systems) and Part 1 (fractals, iterated function systems, chaos, and related concepts). This file is a modified version of a file prepared by Stephen Haben last year. I made a decent number of updates in Part 0, but only a very tiny number of updates in Part 1.

Welcome to Complex Systems
Welcome to the Trinity Term 2016 course on complex systems at University of Oxford. This module is part of our masters program in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics.
The lectures will take place in the Mathematical Institute (room C4) on Mondays 14:00–16:00 in weeks 1–3 and 5–8 and also on Friday 10:00–12:00 in week 8. (I am away during week 4.)
The classes (with me as tutor and Roxana Feier as TA) will take place on Tuesdays from 10:00–11:00 in room C6 in weeks 2,3,5,7,8 and on Tuesday from 9:00–10:00 in room C5 in week 6. (Because I will be away, there also isn't a class in week 4.)
Homework sheets associated to a given week's class are to be submitted electronically by Monday at 9:00 in weeks 2,3,5–8.
(Note: later I will add some more links to the sidebar. I also still need to figure out homework assignments and other such things.)
