Rather than a traditional didactic learning or tutorial process, we will support you as you move toward completion of your important projects in nonlinear science. We can assist you in formulating a hypothesis, selecting analytic techniques, choosing appropriate software, deciding upon methods to interpret your data and selecting potential journals for publication. The safe-space collegiality and consultative atmosphere is a great setting to be met wherever you are and for you to get yourself further along in your nonlinear applications! </span></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; "><b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); "> </span></b></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; "><b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">July 29, 2015 morning (9:00 – 12:00) $125</span></b></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; "><b><span>Workshop: So you want to get started or better equipped to use nonlinear thinking and methods?</span></b></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; "><span> </span></p></div><div style="margin-left: 0.5in; "><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; "><b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">Beginner to intermediate levels.</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); "> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">This half-day workshop is for those of you who are in beginning or early stages of nonlinear thinking and of thinking about methods.
