Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic has made the whole world increasingly more aware of the relevance of Systems Science, its concepts and methodologies.
How rapid and counter-intuitive is the exponential growth? Why are mathematical models and computer simulations important and helpful for real-world problem solving? How do social networks play a key role in contagion processes? Why can social distancing change the epidemic property of our social system? How critical are supply chain and healthcare systems management for saving lives in emergency situations?
All of these are Systems Science questions. The abilities and skills to understand, model, predict and manipulate complex systems are more important than ever. This program is offered at Binghamton University.
