First Year Discovery Seminar: The Beauty of Mathematics

Catalog description

Galileo said that "The language of nature is mathematics." By this he meant that the universe can only be understood with the aid of mathematics. The only prerequisite for this seminar is a willingness to suspend disbelief. The seminar will be heavy on ideas and light on numbers. This is a math appreciation class. It might not be so interesting for math or physics majors. For full seminar description go to College of Letters & Science Academic Programs website: https://www.duels.ucsb.edu/academics/seminars/list
