Introduction
The 2017 edition of 6.034 offers an optional 3-unit add-on set of lectures given by Professor Robert C. Berwick.
This 3-unit section, 6.S077, supplements the main lectures and recitations, focusing on the science side of 6.034. In particular, 6.S063 addresses long-standing scientific questions and biological intelligence, rather than existing tools for building applications. The topics of evolution and human language are heavily emphasized.
Logistics
We meet every Friday, at both 2-3pm and 3-4pm (you may choose which section to attend), in 56-154.
Since this add-on is only 3 units, the workload is minimal. Aside from some optional reading between lectures, the only assignment will be a five- to eight-page paper addressing, researching, or analysing some aspect of human evolution or language that we discuss in class.
