In this course 'artworks', in the broadest sense of the term, will provide entry points to the city of Berlin, which is today one of the most vibrant cultural centers of Europe. Each session will be centered around one work of art, film or architecture that re/presents Berlin-specific histories and has triggered controversial public debates in Germany either today or in the past. We will trace these debates in German newspaper articles, webpages, exhibition catalogs, art/culture magazines, TV-shows or radio broadcasts and analyze them alongside critical theory readings.

Many problems in the sciences are described and explored as dynamical systems - a set of mutually interacting differential equations. We will explore the qualitative structure of these systems and develop numerical methods for solving them. Specific topics include elementary differential equations, power series, and convergence. Computers will be used extensively, and the scientific context of calculus is emphasized throughout. Intended for students who have had a year of calculus elsewhere.
