Présentation

Prerequisite
None
Goal
Semester 2 of the course goes into further depth about concepts discovered in semester one. Particular attention is paid to the dynamics of social interaction (why groups appear? How opinions are formed?...) and businesses (What is a company and what are prospects for short and long-term market ?...). The course is rather "literary" and relies heavily on graphical analysis, and technical aspects are addressed in the algebraic framework of mathematics courses.
