EXPOSICIÓN FOTOGRÁFICA: “UNDER DE ROCK” FOTOGRAFÍAS DE LEONARDO GÓMEZ Inauguración - Exposición abierta del 6 de septiembre hasta el 12 de octubre de 2012. Galería de arte Humberto Hernandez Lunes a viernes de 8:00am a 12:00m y de 2:00pm a 8:00pm
“Under the Rock”, un homenaje invisible en la música, el ejercicio íntimo y personal de un individuo o grupo que encuentra satisfacción desmedida; su rendición a las ondas sonoras que genera su instrumento y la complicidad de la banda. Es la música que desvanece la ausencia del privilegio y materializa por instantes una fama que toca la divinidad. Es un viaje personal y espiritual que en la mayoría de las veces solo la música logra entender. Somos espectadores, solo eso. | ||

COURSE DESCRIPTION
money doing so?
Networked Life looks at how our world is connected --
socially, strategically and technologically -- and why it matters.
The answers to the questions above are related. They have been the subject of
a fascinating intersection of disciplines, including computer science, physics,
psychology, sociology, mathematics, economics and finance. Researchers from
these areas all strive to quantify and explain the growing complexity and
connectivity of the world around us, and they have begun to develop a rich new
science along the way.
Networked Life will explore recent scientific
efforts to explain social, economic and technological structures -- and the way
these structures interact -- on many different scales, from the behavior of
individuals or small groups to that of complex networks such as the Internet and
the global economy.
This course covers computer science topics and other material that is
mathematical, but all material will be presented in a way that is accessible to
an educated audience with or without a strong technical background. The course is open to all majors and all levels, and is taught
accordingly. There will be ample opportunities for those of a
quantitative bent to dig deeper into the topics we examine. The majority of the
course is grounded in scientific and mathematical findings of the past two
decades or less (often much less).
Fall 2012 is the ninth offering of Networked Life. You can get a detailed sense for the course by visiting the
extensive course web pages from past years:
[Fall 2011] [Spring
2010] [Spring
2009] [Spring
2008] [Spring
2007] [Spring
2006] [Spring
2005] [Spring
2004]
(Note: the Fall 2011 version used a different course management
platform than the simple HTML site we'll be using this year, so it might be
easiest to peruse the 2010 and earlier sites to get a sense of how the course
unfolds.)
There is also a greatly
condensed version of this class offered to the general public as part of the
online education platform Coursera. See
the course schedule for information on how we will make
use of the online material and how to sign up.
Networked Life is the flagship course for
Penn Engineering's new Market and Social Systems
Engineering (MKSE) program. Throughout the course we will foreshadow
material that is covered in greater depth in later MKSE courses.
REQUIRED TEXTS
The following three books, available at the Penn Book Store, are required
texts for the course:
Malcolm Gladwell. Paperback. Little Brown & Company, 2000.
Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age, by Duncan J. Watts. Paperback. W.W.
Norton, 2003.
and Macrobehavior, by Thomas C. Schelling. Paperback. W.W. Norton, 1978.
In addition to readings from these texts, there will be frequent articles
from the recent scientific and popular literature that will be provided directly
on this web page at the appropriate points in the syllabus.

LECTURE LOCATIONS AND TIMES
Attendance at the main lectures is considered mandatory for all enrolled
students. They are held Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:30-12, Towne Hall 100
(Heilmeier Hall). There are no recitations for the course.
COURSE PREREQUISITES
Networked Life has no formal prerequisites,
and is meant to be accessible to a broad range of students across SEAS, the
College, and Wharton. No computer programming background is required, but
students should be comfortable using computers and the Web, and accessing
resources on the Internet.
The course is open to all majors and all levels.
CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS FULFILLED BY MKSE 112
satisfying the College of Arts and Sciences' Quantitative
Data Analysis Requirement.
Engineering Elective course in CIS and SEAS. In past years some upperclass SEAS
students have succesfully petitioned to have the course counted for non-100
level credit; please see Prof Kearns if you are interested in this option.
the Philosophy,
Politics and Economics (PPE) and Science, Technology and Society (STSC) programs. Check with your academic advisor in these programs to confirm
exactly how you can count the course.
COURSE FORMAT AND REQUIREMENTS
The main lectures for Networked Life will be
in fairly traditional format, including class participation, discussion, and
communal experiments. Powerpoint slides for all lectures will be provided,
usually at least slightly in advance of the lecture itself.
There will be two or three homework assignments. These will include simple
quantitative exercises, as well as essay questions, computer and web exercises. Collaboration on the homeworks is not permitted.
There will be a midterm, and a final exam.
It is anticipated that the homeworks, midterm and final will each count for
approximately a quarter to a third of the overall grade.
Students are encouraged to bring articles, demos, web pages, news events,
etc. that are relevant to course topics to the attention of Prof. Kearns. Extra
credit will be given if the suggested material is used in the course (see the
"Fourth Column" below).
INFORMATION ON ACCESS TO SEAS COMPUTING FACILITIES
All students must have reliable access to web
and Internet resources, as well as be reachable via email in a timely fashion.
For these purposes, any student in the course may obtain an account on the
server Eniac if they so desire, if they do not already have one. Sign up for an Eniac account here.
All students enrolled in CSE 112 have access to the School of Engineering and
Applied Sciences computer labs. More information on the labs is
online.
Except for occasional hard-copy handouts distributed in lectures, all of the
material for the course will be posted in the table below, which will be
gradually filled in as we progress through the students. Lecture slides, reading
and homework assignments, in-class and out-of-class experiments, due dates, exam
information, etc. will all be provided below. It is every
student's responsibility to monitor this schedule closely and regularly.
In the assigned readings below, "Gladwell", "Watts" and "Schelling" refer to
the three required texts cited above. Other readings will be directly provided
as links to PDF documents. Unless specified otherwise, you should generally try
to complete the assigned reading during roughly the period spanned by the dates
given in the same row of the table.
The lecture slides are all in PowerPoint format, but they may often contain
links to documents in other formats, including PDF, Postscript, JPEG, etc. In
order to view all of the linked content you may need to be using a computer with
viewers installed for these formats.
In the "DATES" column of the table below, our current place in the schedule
will be highlighted in red.
"THE FOURTH COLUMN" will be used to put links to class-related materials from
the popular media, the web, etc. Extra credit will be provided to those who send
me such material if it is used.
Th Sep 6
(revised 9/6)
As mentioned in the first lecture, there is a greatly condensed version of
this class available to the general public, launching on Coursera on Monday Sep 10. Although I will
not require Penn students to take the online version, many of you may find the
materials there --- video lectures, quizzes, and discussion forums --- extremely
valuable for the Penn course (for instance, for review purposes before exams). I
will also post direct links to Coursera video lectures that correspond to
content in the Penn course as we come to it. If you want access to the Coursera
materials, you should create an account (which is free) as soon as possible,
since registration for it will close in a couple of weeks. Note that the
Coursera version moves at a 6-week pace with quizzes etc., but you will have
access to all materials after the 6 weeks, and can ignore the quizzes or not as
you prefer.
Here is the Coursera course
overview video.
Within the first week of class, you should read Malcolm Gladwell's "The
Tipping Point" in its entirety. While we will not spend a lot of time in
lectures directly on the book, it remains a highly readable introduction to some
central course themes.
Here is a document containing a brief
background survey and our first communal social experiment. Please print
them out, complete them (which should only take a few minutes), and return them
at the start of the second lecture (Tu Sep 11), as we will analyze the results
of the social experiment on the fly in class.
And we already have a winner! First-to-Field-Agent status goes to Linda
Lipski, who sent along this TED
talk by Harvard's Nicholas Christakis. Christakis and his colleague James
Fowler are famous for their claims that things like obesity and happiness are
contagious.
Here's a link to a DP article about Penn's
foray into online education with Coursera, which includes a condensed
version of this very class.
Tu Sep 11
Th Sep 13
Tu Sep 18
(revised 9/10)
These lectures are the ones most closely tied to "The Tipping Point". We'll
also discuss the following two articles:
``An Experimental Study of the Small World
Problem'', by J. Travers and S. Milgram.
``An Experimental Study of Search in Global Social
Networks'', by P. Dodds, R. Muhamad, and D. Watts.
You don't need to read these articles in great detail, but at least up to the
resolution we discuss them in class.
Here are four Coursera videos that are related to this set of lectures:
From Field Agent Tony Xie, viral
marketing: means or end?
From F.A. Benjamin Altman, the Erdos number
calculator. Of course, this app is cheating because it has a bird's-eye view
of the network and "simply" computes shortest paths.
An Oldie But Goodie: probably my favorite Fourth Column
submission of all time, presented without comment.
