Mark Newman - The Physics of Complex Systems - 02/10/18

"Traditionally in physics we don't think of condensed matter as being a complex system, but that's really just a question of history ..." says Mark Newman. What a great observation! Many thanks for this talk!

Mark Newman, as always, brilliantly clear.

I like the example of adding connection to nodes.Sometimes we have to make a tradeoff between controlling the spread of virus and the cost we spend in it（e.g. test of covid19; traffic control）. If we know the phase transition point, we will make better decision.

Beautiful Lecture! Bravo!

... and intro and ending tune are hilarious... ! 🤣 A nice contrast with the perceived complexity of physics...

Nice, very good lecturer.

Very interesting and engaging talk!

Really interesting! Gives a great insight into Professor Newman's work! Thanks for sharing! I have to say tho that Nassim Nicholas Taleb and such mathematicians would not be very happy with these theories, as they rely on Gaussian models and completely omit fat tails etc...
