New sciences is not developed at random or from scratch, but instead rooted in knowledge and wisdom. This course is to open up students’ mind to welcome the scientific knowledge and wisdom (such as Chaos, Fractals, Networks and Complexity) and to guide the students to witness how these pieces of knowledge were developed and how they can light up the modern sciences, thereby helping them to improve their innovative ideas and cognitive skills. Through the lectures, students will be able to grasp some major concepts of general scientific knowledge and wisdom, and understand some core ideas in a few selected modern scientific fields (specifically, chaos theory, fractals, complex networks, intelligent systems and complexity). Throughout course learning and after-class reading, students will be able to experience the close relationships among the long-lasting scientific knowledge, the rapidly-evolving modern science, and their daily-life activities.
