Its unique concepts for time series have been greatly instrumental in reformulating intractable problems in many areas of psychology, biomedical science, and economics. The pre-conference workshop for this year is designed for researchers at any career stage who are ready to break into this fascinating area and expand their research agendas in the life and social sciences. The program is also ideal for graduate students who want to do new research with impact on their respective topic areas! (Hint: disseration). Of further interest, earlier version of this program was also very popular with professors who were exploring the best means for importing nonlinear dynamics to their substantive theory or methods courses. Participants may register for either or both the AM and PM sessions.</div><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "> </p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center; "><strong style="color: rgb(114, 50, 173); font-family: constantia, serif; font-size: 14pt; ">Topics and Presenters</strong></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><strong>AM SESSION</strong></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Segment 1: Attractors, bifurcations chaos, fractals, self-organization, catastrophes,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>presented by Stephen J.
