This course is about how to write and use computer code to explore and solve problems in pure and applied mathematics. The first part of the course will be an introduction to programming in Python. The remainder of the course (and its goal) is to help students develop the skills to translate mathematical problems and solution techniques into algorithms and code. Students will work together on group projects with a variety applications throughout the curriculum.

This course offers a broad overview of domestic and global water policy topics. In particular, the course will explore these topics through the lens of economics. The class covers both water quality and water quantity topics. U.S. topics will include a discussion of major environmental and health statutes such as the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act. Environmental justice impacts will be discussed. Global topics will cover a range of subjects including the importance of sanitation and safe drinking water in developing countries.

Design of water supply and wastewater collection systems. Topics include water transmission mains, water distribution systems, pumping, storm sewers and sanitary sewer systems. Design projects, oral and written engineering reports. Ethics and professionalism.

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the theory and methods of health economics and demonstrate how these methods can be applied to analyze issues in health policy and management. This course will teach students to use economic analysis to understand critical issues in health care and health policy. We will explore how social scientists address empirical questions in the business and policy of health care, the methods and types of data that are available, how we can use data to answer policy-relevant questions.

In the twentieth-century, working-class women built revolutions to dismantle oppressive systems and create a free society. They organized workers, waged armed struggle, and built alternative institutions. Why did women join revolutionary movements? How did gender shape their participation? How did women define revolutionary theories and practices? We will consult primary and secondary sources to understand the experiences and dreams of radical women. We will focus on historical case studies primarily from Latin America.

In this course we will explore the physiological adaptations that allow animals to live in extreme environments, such as long duration migration, high or low temperature, low oxygen, or extreme pressures of the deep oceans. Topics will be student directed, and material will be presented in traditional lectures, through group discussions of primary literature, and through student developed presentations.

The eras of the Civil War and Reconstruction studied from the perspective of Black Americans, highlighting Black protest and resistance. Key topics include: the Civil War as slave rebellion; the process and meaning of emancipation; family, community, and labor in the aftermath of slavery; interracial politics in the Reconstruction era; legal and extralegal violence and resistance.

Theory and applications of game theory, a major tool of analysis in economics, biology, and political science. Applications include: bargaining, auctions, the "prisoner's dilemma," the "tragedy of the commons," tacit collusion, competition among firms, and strategic interactions in labor, credit, and product markets. Prerequisites: ECON 103 or RES-ECON 102 and MATH 127 or 131 or 135.

Statistical inference in parametric models is generally well-understood, but parametric assumptions are unrealistic in many settings. Semiparametric and nonparametric models provide more flexible alternatives that may better reflect our knowledge of the problem at hand, but statistical inference in these models is often challenging. In this course, we will introduce the statistical theory and methods underlying targeted inference of Euclidean parameters in semiparametric and nonparametric models. We will begin by discussing aspects of semiparametric efficiency theory.

This course is designed to give students an overview of the field of public health and health sciences. We will examine the history and philosophy of public health and basic epidemiology before exploring some of the many challenges faced by communities and public health and health sciences professionals across the world.
