Description: This workshop will introduce attendees to dynamical systems and complexity science broadly. The first half of the workshop will focus on foundational concepts and the second half will broadly overview basic techniques used in the field. This workshop will not cover mathematical formalizations in much depth or provide source code, but rather aims to get attendees up to speed on theoretical tenants and technical jargon. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to 1) consume scientific literature in dynamical systems and complexity science, 2) have a broad understanding of the available analytics and their assumptions, and 3) be able to formulate research questions and methods to address those questions using the dynamical framework. No prior experience will be assumed, and the workshop will be introductory in nature. As such, this workshop will be appropriate for those with little/no experience. Those who have a foundation in complexity and a familiarity with the types of modeling techniques used should sign up for a different workshop to maximize benefit.
