SGBI 102 - The Modern Foundations of Logic and Math

4.00 credit hours
The study of modern mathematics and logic begins with probability and the beginnings of the mathematical formalization of statistics based on the writings of Pascal and Hume. Students then investigate how the “Imaginary Geometry” of Lobachevsky examines the assumptions of Euclidean space, how Einstein’s relativity theory corrects and expands the Newtonian world system and Godel’s proof demonstrates the inherent limits of axiomatic reasoning.

Prerequisite(s): SGBI 101 .
Cardinal Directions Designation(s): Quantitative Analysis.
