First Nights

We will examine five major musical works from the 17th to the 20th century: Orfeo (Monteverdi), Messiah (Handel), the Ninth Symphony (Beethoven), the Symphonie fantastique (Berlioz), and Le Sacre du printemps (Stravinsky). Using Thomas Kelly's book First Nights, recordings of modern performances, and selected readings, we will study how these works function as pieces of music and what makes them unique.

Human Physiology

A course on the function of human organ systems, at both the cellular and whole tissue level. We will study the mechanisms that regulate a variety of organ systems and learn how these mechanisms respond to the changing needs of the individual. We will discuss how we used animal models to determine the normal function of these systems, practice the math used to model their function, and analyze how the activities of these systems are integrated.

Rsrch Probs Linear/GraphThry

This course is designed to give students a seven week mathematical research experience within the semester. A variety of research topics will be chosen from linear algebra, graph theory, and related fields. The first week of the course will consist of learning background material, and for the remaining six weeks, students will work on research problems in teams of three to four. At the end of the module, students will gain practice presenting research by presenting on their chosen topic.
