Mathematical vision of the World 1000-00MWS-OG

Nowadays, mathematics plays an increasingly important role in understanding natural and social processes, becoming the main instrument for understanding the world. We are witnessing the exciting process of mathematics entering biology, medicine, economics and sociology, and even the arts. It is worth considering why this is happening and realizing the successes of this process (failures too). On the other hand, mathematics is sometimes separated from the humanities as if it were not an equivalent part of culture. It is worth looking at it and finding connections: "fill the trenches". In particular, contemplating the numerous connections between mathematics and (fiction) literature.
The lecture is intended for everyone who is open to mathematics, especially applied mathematics. However, it is hardly recommended for those studying at the Faculty of MIM: it is quite elementary in terms of mathematics. In particular, no knowledge of university mathematics is required. The following topics will be discussed
1.) What is truth?
2.) Beauty and math.
3.) Does math have to be difficult?
4.) Fibonacci almost everywhere.
5.) Biomathematics.
6.) Is mathematics the structure of the world?
7.) "The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in natural sciences".
8.) Literature and mathematics
(-) Mathematics in Paradise - Dante,
(-) Dangerous Liaisons?
(-) J.M. Coetzee and the dilemma of a young writer,
(-) Alice in the land of logic,
(-) Amazing adventures of OULIPO
(-) L. Tolstoy (1828-1910) and the integral of history,
(-) JFIL Borges (1899-1986) and the Babel library.
