For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm The course has two goals. First, to give you a sense of what philosophers think about and why. Here we look at a number of perennial philosophical problems, including some or all of: how knowledge differs from "mere opinion," the objectivity (or not) of moral judgment, logical paradoxes, mind/body relations, the nature and possibility of free will, and how a person remains the same over time, as their bodily and psychological traits change. The second goal is to get you thinking philosophically yourself. This will help you develop your critical and argumentative skills more generally. Readings will be from late, great classical authors and influential contemporary figures. https://dspace.mit.edu/sword/deposit/1721.1/127766 Fall 2010 Holton, Richard 2020-09-28T15:51:39+05:00 24.00 en-US Philosophy existence God reason faith mind-body free will identity deontology morality moral responsibility materialism functionalism argument pascal's wager compatibilism determinism MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm D4M is a breakthrough in computer programming that combines graph theory, linear algebra, and databases to address problems associated with Big Data. Search, social media, ad placement, mapping, tracking, spam filtering, fraud detection, wireless communication, drug discovery, and bioinformatics all attempt to find items of interest in vast quantities of data. This course teaches a signal processing approach to these problems by combining linear algebraic graph algorithms, group theory, and database design. This approach has been implemented in software The class will begin with a number of practical problems, introduce the appropriate theory and then apply the theory to these problems. Students will apply these ideas in the final project of their choosing. The course will contain a number of smaller assignments which will prepare the students with appropriate software infrastructure for completing their final projects. https://dspace.mit.edu/sword/deposit/1721.1/126284 Fall 2012 Kepner, Jeremy 2020-07-21T18:37:51+05:00 en-US big data data analytics dynamic distributed dimensional data model D4M associate arrays group theory entity analysis perfect Power Law bio sequence correlation Accumulo Kronecker graphs MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
