The course will cover complexity science, introducing the core concepts and discussing ideas such as emergence, using twelve DVD lectures from the Teaching Company by University of Michigan Professor Scott Page. We’ll view two 30-minute lectures per class, each followed by 20 minutes for questions and discussion. The study group leader worked 27 years as a research physicist for Ford and taught physics at several levels, including graduate level at Wayne State University. At OLLI, he has taught 16 physics-related classes. The Study Group for those 50 and over led by Richard Chase is held Tuesdays January 21 through February 25.
