Comment/Description

This is a new seminar that we introduce here as "Schlüsselkompetenz-Modul". You don't necessarily need to have DiffI and AglaI to follow and contribute, but we do require some basic math and logic foundation, so that we will have a common language in discussion. It takes the formality of a reading seminar, and we will explore various literature on mathematics models which give possible descriptions of our universe, human consciousness, mind, intelligence (including artificial ones), etc. Each student will give a seminar talk based on an article or chapters of books they read.
