To wind down the course, a couple of items

of business and a few reminders:

First, I want to encourage you to fill out

the course evaluation form.

The feedback that you give us is really

helpful for figuring out how to improve

the courses and the Complexity Explorer

site in general. And please,

even if you aren't planning

on earning a certificate or completing the

course in its entirety, your feedback is

still really valuable to us.

So, a few minutes of filling out the form

and giving us some sense

of what worked and what could be better

would be much appreciated.

Second, I want to acknowledge the funding

sources for this course.

The primary funding is from a gift to the

Santa Fe Institute, a grant to SFI, from

the John Templeton Foundation.

And it's also supported by user

donations. Thanks to all of you who have

donated to help keep these courses going.

I also want to mention an upcoming

Complexity Explorer course that, in many

ways, is a continuation of this course.

Liz Bradley, professor at University of

Colorado, will be teaching an advanced

level course on dynamical systems starting

in mid-September of 2014.

Her course will assume a knowledge of

calculus as a prerequisite and perhaps

some introductory physics, but most

importantly, it will presume a basic

working knowledge of at least one

programming language. You'll be writing

programs to do explorations of dynamical

systems.

The language you use doesn't matter, and

as long as you have access to familiarity

with at least one programming language and

can plot graphs and so on, like I've done

in this course, you'll have the background

for that.

I think many of you have wanted a more

mathematical, advanced, in-depth, and

data-driven treatment of dynamical

systems. And I definitely encourage you

to check out Liz's course.

As with all Complexity Explorer courses,

we'll announce that on Facebook and

Twitter. Since you're on the Complexity

Explorer website, we'll send out an e-mail

announcement about that as well.

The topics we covered in this course, I

hope were fun, fascinating, and give you

lots to think about, but it's just the

beginning.

I hope you keep exploring these ideas.

I think they're a lot of fun. I think

they're important and have a lot of

implications as well.

I'd encourage you to check out Liz's

course, check out some of the additional

readings and resources listed on the

website, and, above all, keep exploring

on your own.

I hope you enjoyed this class. I

certainly enjoyed teaching it. It was

a lot of fun. Take care. We'll see you

around.
