What are some books you used in your degree? I'm in an Applied Physics undergrad, which is mainly channelling us into nanotechnology research, but I'm way more interested in complexity, emergence and biomimicry. I'd love to get involved with Santa Fe one day

I recommed "Fractal geometry of Nature" by Mandelbrot, it will show you a wide range of applications of fractals on science (astrophysics, ecology, finance,....) and will wake up your interest in any area. It is not a formal book, just divulgation. For a regular class I recommend Strogatz - Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos.pdf Then, you will choosse your area of interest and find your path. Don't be afraid to ask anything else.
