The last lecture! – you can download from Lecture 8 above or by clicking the icon left. This lecture does not quite do what I intended but reworks an earlier lecture of mine on land use transportation models focussing on their visual and spatial complexity. My ‘big synthesis’ of new measures of spatial complexity is still to come and once it is done I will post it here as a paper.

Click left for the lecture or above on Lecture 7. More on entropy and information here, and I rework some of the material of Lecture 6. Note the random collisions model and run Chen’s online movie and have look at Tobler’s movie of how to build a flow map after Ravenstein.

The icon left is rather appropriate for Arizona and the wild west, don’t you think. Entropy is increasing as we head towards the end of the course. The sixth lecture deals with our third form of scaling, scaling with space, spatial interaction and entropy methods for generating models. Click left for the pdf or the Menu Item Lecture 6 above.
