Course Description
This course introduces (with history & philosophy of science) two of the most important developments in modern physics: relativity and quantum theory. Topics: the concept of absolute and relative space and time, the twin paradox, black holes and wormholes, wave-particle duality of matter, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Schrodinger's cat, the ultimate constituents of matter, grand unification and superstrings, and how these theories can contribute to the technology of tomorrow. Concepts are emphasized, while omitting the technical details.

Course Description
For systems with a small number of variables, the following topics are covered: basics of modelling; dynamical systems in discrete time; dynamical systems in continuous time; phase space; analyzing dynamical systems with mathematical and simulation methods. For systems with many variables, the following topics are covered: simulations using the Python language; cellular automate; continuous fields; complex systems on networks; agent-based modelling. After completing the course, the student is able to: translate a Complex System to a model which can be analyzed; use mathematical tools to give (approximate) solutions of the model; use computer simulations to analyze the model; critically compare both methods.
