Evolution of the U.S. economy from colonial times, including slavery, the development of capitalism, large corporations, trade unions, the Great Depression, and the changing role of the state.

This course explores a selection of works of dystopian and utopian fiction and may include examples from film, television, and other media, in addition to literature. An important part of this exploration will be to consider the relationship between this imaginative fiction and the real world conditions which may have prompted it. We will also discuss what these texts have to offer us as warnings for our own society or ideas for a better future.

This class serves as 1 credit accompaniment to the AnSci 366 Veterinary Microbiology Lab. Topics covered emphasize both the role of microbes as health-promoters and vectors of disease in animals.

Build individual strengths to empower stress management and increase resilience. Research, mindfulness and focused writing are applied to increase awareness of emotional responses to life's challenges and facilitate social connections to increase leadership capacity.

Foundations of thermodynamics, waves, sound, and optics. Prerequisites: PHYSICS 181, MATH 132, or consent of instructor.

The class introduces students to different experimental techniques and limitations in order to help them succeed in an experimental research PhD. The objective is to familiarize students with experimental techniques common to many physics research laboratories. It will provide hands-on knowledge.

This course will explore the quantum dynamics of (mainly four-dimensional) gauge theories, beginning with Maxwell theory, then Yang-Mills theory, asymptotic freedom, confinement, anomalies, instantons, chiral symmetry breaking, etc.. Supersymmetry will be introduced as an important tool to understand non-perturbative dynamics and used to study holomorphy, Seiberg duality and other exact results as time allows.

We will explore and develop a variety of univariate time-series techniques. We will show how to use these techniques to make forecasts for different economic variables. We will compare forecasts using univariate methods with forecasts obtained using econometric models.
