This course covers the following topics, hopefully in this order: 1. Why do we still study English in this AI era? 2. Men willingly believe what they wish to be true. - Is grammar the least significant? 3. Churchill’s memorandum on wartime economics of writing – how to omit needless words? 4. Grammar 1: Declare first, then refer - How to use articles and pronouns? 5. Logic 1: Modus ponens (P implies Q. P is true, so Q is true), and how to avoid hackneyed “so” in it? 6. Feedback on Report 1 7. Introduction to 5 sentence patterns and 25 verb patterns 8. Grammar 2. Let it be - What kind of verbs can be used to define? 9. Logic 2. A functionally complete set - {AND, OR, NOT} is enough to express all possible truth tables. 10. Grammar 3. Restrictive and non-restrictive uses of “which” - To define is to limit. Just one comma deprives a relative clause of capability to limit. 11. Logic 3. Proof - Suppose there were just a finite number of primes. 12. Grammar 4. Active and passive voices – Whodunit? 13. Grammar 5. Tense – How to describe related works? 14. All Gaul is divided into three parts - How to keep reviewers from leaning towards rejection? 15. Why do we still study English in this AI era (revisited)? – The Kurzweil’s law of accelerating returns |
