Complex Systems Reading Group

The Complex Systems Reading Group invites you to join us for yet another 
semester of interesting readings, intellectual conversation, and 
socializing in a relaxed atmosphere over good food and drink.
We are an informal, student-run group that meets weekly to discuss papers 
and books related to complex systems. Past readings have ranged from 
artificial intelligence to archaeology, and from biology to philosophy. 
During the summer we read a variety of papers, with an emphasis on social 
networks. Regular attendees include UM students and faculty as well as 
members of the community. All are welcome, including those under 21.
      
During the Fall Semester, we will meet Wednesday nights at 7pm at the Old 
Town Tavern on the corner of W. Liberty and S. Ashley Streets in Ann 
Arbor; we generally sit in back under the large Rubenesque painting. Our 
first meeting will be next Wednesday, September 18, when Cosma Shalizi 
will talk with us about one of his recent papers.
