P109 Ants, Brain, Riot, Stock Market…and Universe: Science of Complexity

4 credit(s)
This course serves as an anchor course for the First Year Experience by welcoming you into the Saint Mary’s University community and providing an opportunity for the development of academic skills in the area/discipline of science, especially physics.  Inquiry into complexity will allow you to develop the academic habits and ways of thinking to take forward into any Interdisciplinary Minor of your choice.  This course incorporates the common themes of Place, Purpose, and Well Being.  Specifically, we will discuss what the place of human species is in a landscape of natural work, what the purpose of human existence is in a seemingly random universe, and finally how then do we decide ‘good’ and ‘bad’. This course is coded as FYE101.
