I set up a google group here for the Game Theory course. I set up a first post as a bit of an introduction and a place for anyone who joins to say why they're taking the course.

I hadn't heard of the network analysis course, but it looks interesting. I like Matt Jackson as a presenter so this looks like a good course. I don't have time for it right now.

I've had my eye on the discreet optimization course for a long time now. I would really like to be able to take it this offering if my schedule permits, though I expect it to have a very high work load. I imagine there would be quite a bit of interest on this one in the LW community so it would be interesting to gauge interest as we get closer to the start date.
