This seminar will focus on recent research into equitable algorithms and systems, broadly construed. This includes research that supports properties of fairness, accountability, and transparency, as well as respect for the privacy, safety, and equitable treatment of contributing individuals. Specific research topics will span systems, artificial intelligence, and theory.

Landscapes and their geology influence atmospheric and hydrologic functions, which govern the sources and transport of elements. Watershed exports are cumulative integrators of soils, bedrocks, and vegetation elemental cycling, controlling the rate of elemental emissions to the Earth?s atmosphere and to the oceans. In this course, we will evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively elemental biogeochemistry in watersheds and across landscapes. Moreover, we will examine how human populations affect these scale processes.

This 4-credit General Education course introduces students to the study of African American History. It begins with a discussion of the early twentieth-century Black intellectuals who pioneered the field of African American History and how the field has grown and changed over the past century. The course then charts the history of the African and African American experience, mainly in North America/United States from the late 17th Century through the end of the US Civil War.

Introduction to economic analysis for majors and nonmajors. Facts and concepts basic to understanding the U.S. economy today. Topics may include:
unemployment, economic development, inequality, technology, social wealth, environment, government economic policy, economic alternatives, race and gender, and discrimination. Contrasting theoretical perspectives. (Gen.Ed. SB, DU)

The definite integral, techniques of integration, and applications to physics, chemistry, and engineering. Sequences, series, and power series. Taylor and MacLaurin series. Prerequisite: MATH 131 or equivalent. Honors section available. (Gen.Ed. R2)

[Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]

Continuity, limits, and the derivative for algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, and inverse functions. Applications to physics, chemistry, and engineering. Prerequisites: high school algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. Honors section available first semester. (Gen.Ed. R2)
