lastish call: we're starting up a study group on ergodicity (a fundamental concept in physics, dynamics, chaos, and probability, that characterizes the randomness in a system) aimed at people with a moderate math background and some coding skills.
we are an explicitly queer-affirming group and we particularly welcome ppl who feel alienated from academic math.
right now we are reading http://www.mat.ucm.es/serv/revmat/vol19-1/vol19-1a_p.pdf
our code is at https://github.com/faec/IntervalExchange
exercises are at https://github.com/faec/IntervalExchange/blob/master/Exercises/exercises1.md

@vector depends a lot on background and goals, but -- hoping to arrange it so ppl can benefit from as little as 2-3hrs a week on avg, but probably ~twice that to follow more of the theory or get deeper into the code. tho we'll adjust the pace to what the group can manage.
@fae roughly, how much time per week would you think someone would need to dedicate in order to keep up with this?
