Mathematica Notebooks on Complex Systems

Mathematica Notebooks on Complex Systems

These are Mathematica Notebooks written by Richard G. Palmer of the Department of Physics of Duke University.

Description

These notebooks were written for the Duke University course PHY 48: Emergence of Complexity, taken by first-year students in the Origins Program, one of the Focus Interdisciplinary Programs.

Notebooks on other topics are also available.

The notebooks are designed for Mathematica version 4.0.

The notebooks mainly contain text and unevaluated Mathematica expressions. The user is expected to evaluate all such expressions, one at a time in order, unless otherwise instructed. Evaluating a whole notebook usually doesn't work, and in any case misses much of the point.
