课程详情

This cross-disciplinary course deals with the undetermined, the unpredictable -- or what appears to be such. Among the questions that will be addressed are:


  • How has randomness, often seen as a nuisance, become a useful resource for communication and computing?
  • How can physicists make the astounding claim that there is real randomness in nature?
  • What is the “chance” invoked by biologists in the context of evolution?
  • Can our apparently free acts be predicted by monitoring the activity of the brain?

课程简介

This cross-disciplinary course deals with the undetermined, the unpredictable- or what appears to be such. Learn about the usefulness of randomness in communication and computation, the intrinsic randomness of quantum phenomena, the unpredictability of the weather, the role of chance in evolution, and the implications of the neural activity of the brain on our "free will".
