Introduction To Philosophy

This course will cover questions about the place of mind in a world of matter; the nature of free will, and whether it is so much as possible; a variety of questions about knowledge, including self-knowledge; and a number of moral questions, including questions about our responsibility to others less fortunate than ourselves. Readings will be primarily from contemporary philosophers. (Gen.Ed. AL)

Stat Modeling/Health Data Sci

This is course is for students who want to learn essential statistical and computational skills for health data science. Students will obtain hands-on experience in implementing a wide range of commonly used statistical methods with real data from public health and biomedical research using the statistical programming language R. The course motivates statistical reasoning and methods through real health data.

Intro To Computation (colloq)

Readings from Hofstadter's Godel, Esher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, and discussion of these in connection with the material of COMPSCI 250. How can a formal proof in number theory be like a piece of classical music or a paradoxical drawing? What can formal logic tell us about the possibility of machine intelligence, or the nature of human intelligence? Students will report on and discuss their readings in the weekly seminar meeting, and each student will make an oral presentation at the end of the term.
