Economic theory of the macro-economy. Determinants of unemployment rates, inflation rates, national income, GDP. Tools of public policy available which can be used to promote macroeconomic goals. (Gen.Ed. SB)

Description and analysis of deformation and deformation processes at scales ranging from minerals to mountain belts. Emphasis on three-dimensional visualization of geologic features and practical solutions to structural problems relevant to industry and research. Students within the honors section take on individual or group projects that delve further into issues explored within the course. These projects typically culminate with presentations within the classroom or on the outcrop.

This will be a one credit reading seminar focused on current topics in oceanography and marine science. Students will read one short paper from the current literature (newspapers, magazines, journals) or one book chapter per week. Topics will be chosen to focus particularly on issues of public interest such as global warming, coastal policy, marine ecology, etc. Students must also be enrolled in Geology 103. Seminars will be devoted to discussing the weekly readings and other topics of current interest. Recommended for first-year students and sophomores.

This course applies principles of continuum mechanics to a broad range of biomechanical phenomena. The topics include: introduction to cell biology, fundamentals of solid mechanics, mechanosensitive machineries in cells, mechanotransduction, cell mechanics, developmental biomechanics, etc. Experimental methods for measuring molecular mechanics, cell adhesion, migration and contraction, and tissue biomechanics will also be discussed. Most recent literature will be used as discussion materials to connect theories with research.

This course considers different ways of thinking about economic activity that can help us address the global economic, environmental, and equity crises we are facing. We will broaden our concept of the economy to include new visions of economic development, and look at economic experiments from a hopeful and experimental perspective as we seek a more sustainable and socially just approach toward economic activity.

This course offers a systematic introduction to one of the most powerful and versatile simulation techniques for large complex system. It starts with a short introduction to the probability theory and random number generators, and is followed by the general theory of stochastic sampling techniques and data analysis for classical statistical models (including state-of-the-art schemes) and kinetic equations. The course concludes with the discussion of quantum Monte Carlo methods.

Time travel, transformations, and cyborgs. The afterlife. Another life. Another universe. How do we stage plays that move well beyond what is "realistic" and into the impossible? How do we read scripts that are meant to be seen? How do plays based outside of our world speak so clearly to our current issues? This course offers a survey of contemporary science fiction and fantasy plays, as well as tools and techniques to analyze, critique, and stage them.
