What's the Physics of Music? it sounds really interesting. I'm talking about Kepler in two classes (The Mathematical Mystery Tour and Revolution in Science) and I know he was all in to the music of the spheres.
Has your Intro to Philosophy class gotten off the logic bandwagon and in to more interesting areas?
Mathematical Mystery Tour is ok. It's my first year studies, so yes, it's a year long course. Last semester was logic, history of math and proof.
This semester it's philosophy of mathemattics and game theory. The philosophy has been fairly simple and straightforward so far. We're reading a book called The Loss of Certainty. Descartes, Hume and Kant have just entered. It's interesting to see the metaphysics/epistemology we learned last year applied to mathemattics.
I'm also taking a class called Revolutions in Science. Ever hear of Thomas Kuhn? He wrote a book called The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. All about paradigms and a sort of relativistic scientific epistemology. I think you'd like the class.
