Description

The Pleasure of Thinking: The Beauty and Power of Classical Mathematical Ideas, discover Mathematics As an artistic and creative field that contains some of the greatest ideas in human history, this course explores infinity, the fourth dimension, probability, chaos, fractals and other fascinating topics. Is it If Bill Gates sees a $100 bill on the sidewalk, how long will it take him to pick it up? Good advice to give to a contestant trying to decide whether to swim or not amid the frenzied screams of the audience on ‘Let’s Make a Deal’ on television. World Of Mathematics contains some of the greatest ideas of mankind – ideas that are comparable to the works of Shakespeare, Plato and Michelangelo. These mathematical ideas can add texture, beauty and wonder to your life. Most importantly, you don’t have to be a mathematician to access this world.

Pleasure Of Thinking is a course about entertainment, aesthetics and mystery – about great mathematical ideas that arise from puzzles, observations of everyday life, and habits of curiosity and effective thinking. It is as much about learning to think abstractly as it is about what we traditionally think of as mathematics. You Explore the fourth dimension, coincidences, fractals, the fascination with numbers, and geometry, and bring these important concepts back down to earth and see how they apply to your life. rather Rather than focusing on adding figures or creating equations (in fact, there are fewer numbers than you might expect), this course enables you to uncover and understand practical strategies for approaching, enjoying, and understanding the world around you.

What you will learn

A way Refining our worldview means describing more precisely what we see. Each of the classical theories of numbers, geometry, topology, fractals, and probability provide tools.
Number with Mathematics plays a fundamental role throughout our lives. By counting and quantifying, we understand our world in a more sophisticated way.
To A Mathematicians, numbers have their own personalities. This lecture explores the ways they have been used and understood – and have fascinated humankind for centuries.
We See how a hidden sequence of numbers actually underlies the beauty of nature, and explore the remarkable insights available in the pattern known as the Fibonacci numbers.
