Detalhes do curso
Programa de Estudos
- Week 1 - Welcome - Let's Get Started
In this module we'll introduce the concept of emergence and provide an orientation to how this course will proceed. - Week 2 - The Mystery of Foam
Can a substance be both a solid and a liquid? In this module we’ll take a close look at our first emergent phenomena, complex fluids. - Week 3 - Chaotic Dynamics
Are seemingly random events truly random? In this module, we'll examine ways that deterministic processes can produce the appearance of randomness. - Week 4 - Pattern Formation and Systems Biology
Have you ever wondered why tigers have spots and leopards have spots? This module helps to explain how these and other patterns form in nature. - Week 5 - Quantum Coherence, Many-Body States, and Quantum Computing
How can we study quantum events from both a reductionist and emergent perspective? This module takes a look at the atomic and quantum level of some everyday phenomena. - Week 6 - Consciousness
One of the most awe inspiring emergent phenomena is how consciousness emerges from complex collections of atoms and molecules. In this module, we’ll take a look at how the various regions of our brain coordinate and interact to produce consciousness.
