Saturday Morning Physics | The Physics of Complex Systems
Mark Newman, Anatol Rapoport Distinguished University Professor of Physics (U-M Physics)
This talk will describe how we use ideas from physics to understand a wide range of complex systems, including traffic patterns, random processes, social networks, and the spread of diseases. Using a combination of computer simulations, math, and experimental observations, physics can shed light on questions as diverse as why traffic jams occur, how coral grows, or how the flu spreads around the world.
