SGBN 352 - Great Equations

4.00 credit hours
Great Equations uses animated cartoons, movies, laboratory work, and readings ranging from aesthetics to physics to complex analysis. We explore mathematics and mathematical physics to appreciate the beauty in (some of) the most famous equations. Not all equations are beautiful, according to mathematicians. Of each equation we consider, we will ask: What do the symbols mean? What does the equation as a whole mean? How is it derived, including the assumptions it carries? And: is it beautiful?
