US 222 Everything & Nothing: Visualizing Math, Philosophy & Culture

Everything (the universe, infinity, oneness, completeness) and Nothing (vacuums, emptiness, zero, absence) are usually taken as opposites but are often ironically synonyms for each other. This University Seminar provides an investigation of these concepts in mathematics, religion, philosophy, science, and literature, taking students into intriguing but also possibly scary territory.
