Breaking my blogging hiatus here to pass on word about a virtual class my wife has set up. We’ll be reading through and discussing Douglas Hofstadter‘s Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid using M.I.T.’s Open Courseware. Here’s the course description:
How are math, art, music, and language intertwined? How does intelligent behavior arise from its component parts? Can computers think? Can brains compute? Douglas Hofstadter probes very cleverly at these questions and more in his Pulitzer Prize winning book, “Gödel, Escher, Bach”. In this seminar, we will read and discuss the book in depth, taking the time to solve its puzzles, appreciate the Bach pieces that inspired its dialogues, and discover its hidden tricks along the way.
