MOOCs, Complexity and Chaos

[Jochen Fromm-5]

I decided to go back to school and
take some MOOCs in my free time,
for instance

* a Psychology 101 course at Udacity
https://www.udacity.com/course/ps001

Unfortunately they have no advance course
in Psychology, but Psychology is so interesting
that even a basic 101 can be fascinating, right?

I also signed up for these courses on coursera.org

* Dino 101: Dinosaur Paleobiology
   https://www.coursera.org/course/dino101

* A History of the World since 1300
   https://www.coursera.org/course/wh1300

* Model Thinking
   https://www.coursera.org/course/modelthinkinga

Anyone else would who would like to join?

Melanie Mitchell told me via Twitter that the SFI
and Portland State University offer interesting
online courses on complexity and chaos theory as well.
There is a wealth of material from the first complexity
course this year still online, see

Hi Pietro, long time since I've seen/heard from you.  I think still in Torino and writing models?

Nice to hear from you.  We're starting to write models in a JavaScript/CoffeeScript framework that is as close to NetLogo as reasonable.  We'll announce our first "version 1.0" on the list after it completes its first "for pay" project .. hopefully reasonably soon!  Or just go to github and look for AgentScript.

    Dear Owen,

    thanks for the news, happy to read you.

    Yes, I'm always in Torino and writing models, mainly using Python.

    I'd a look to AgentScript and I'll study it carefully; I highly appreciate the minimalist approach.

    Best, friendly, Pietro
