Independent Reading Group: Information and Chaos Theories
Information and chaos theories often appear as two sides of the same coin. Whether you are looking for an elegant solution to a problem or trying to forecast an outcome of a complex process, information and chaos theories could guide you in your decision-making. Both theories have been applied in a surprising number of fields (Physics, Computer Science, Economics, Communications, Mathematics, Philosophy, Biology, Sociology, Fine Arts鈥�). Our informal discussions will explore how the two theories came about and the relationship between them. This summer seminar is open to the whole 平特五不中 community. And, if you are out of town, we can arrange a virtual meeting as well.
Convenor: Anastasia Prozorova
Meeting times: Wednesdays, 3:00-5:00pm: 7, 28 May, 11 June, 16 July, 13, 27 August
Room 21-6, 3610 McTavish St.
"IPLAI reading groups are not-for-credit innovative, interdisciplinary programs of exploration that cross boundaries and ask big questions. They are created and convened by 平特五不中 students and faculty for their colleagues and thus are open to any and all 平特五不中 students, staff and faculty. Participants are not required to have existing expertise in the subject. A keen curiosity is enough. For more information on a particular group, or to join that group, please contact that group's convenor."
