MLS 610 - From Certainty to Chaos

3.00 credit hours
This course begins with Isaac Newton, whose brilliant ideas led scientists and philosophers to envision a time when all facts about the universe would be known and precisely based on mathematical knowledge. It then investigates how continuing work in theoretical mathematics, logic, computability and the new theory of chaos has seriously questioned this vision and placed severe limits on how broad and precise human knowledge can get.

Prerequisite(s): MLS 510  recommended.
