Focus Groups


Complexity and Nonlinear Dynamics (CAND)

Overview: This is the successor group to what was formerly called the Complex Adaptive Dynamical Systems focus group (CADS). This academic year we have met every other Tuesday to share our work in progress, on topics such as preferences for fractal images of different dimensionality in adults and children, the search for fractal structure in Beowulf, how Tai Chi training affects dynamic stability, trajectories of anti-social behavior in children, and the conductance patterns of electrons. Members have also demonstrated software and techniques useful for analyzing fractal structure and dynamics. If you are interested in receiving email announcements for this group, please contact Holly Arrow.
