We will cover a variety of basic and advanced EEG and ERP methods, including experimental design, data processing and data analysis. There will be opportunities for hands-on data collection. Individual projects will focus on writing ERP proposals, processing and analyzing existing data sets and developing approaches to solve problems in ERP design and analysis.

What are the major political forces that shaped our world? Why is the world so unequal? How are powerful groups in society able to maintain their position? While human inequality has often been explained in terms of a natural order, in social scientific terms inequality can be understood as a condition related to historical processes and access to political power. In this class we will examine the theories, evidence and debates concerning human inequality on a global scale as well as its perpetuation.

Application of economic theory and quantitative analysis to the managerial decision-making process. Topics include: cost and production economics, demand analysis, business forecasting, investment project evaluation, and pricing and promotional strategies.

This graduate level course will revisit and build on the foundations of professional scenic design practice such as dramaturgical and visual research, flexibility of methods and solutions in pursuit of a vision in support of a performance event, creative problem solving, model building, drafting, budgeting, and collaboration skills though actual production assignments in the department. Assignments will be determined by the needs and competence of the individual student. Special attention to portfolio development.

The course will consist of two parts of roughly the same length. The first part will cover basics of Abelian, triangulated and derived categories using examples from algebra. The second part will be more technical as we will focus on computations and applications of derived categories of coherent sheaves in algebraic geometry. The prerequisite for this part is standard algebraic geometry, either using the language of schemes (Chapter II of Hartschorne will suffice) or complex algebraic geometry (e.g. the first volume of Voisin's "Hodge theory and complex algebraic geometry").

The aim of this course will be to give an overview of the mathematical background, physical applications and numerical computations associated with a number of prototypical wave systems both at the continuum and at the lattice level. We will start from finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems, discuss their symmetries and Lagrangian/Hamiltonian structure, and then extend considerations to infinite dimensional systems of partial differential and differential-difference equations.
