Introduction to core machine learning models and algorithms for classification, regression, dimensionality reduction and clustering with a focus on real-world applications in a variety of computing contexts (desktop/cluster/cloud). Requires the use of Python. This course includes an honors colloquium with an exploration of the mathematical foundations of the machine learning algorithms presented in class. It will also include the presentation of more advanced models and algorithms.

This honors course will examine the impact that interactions between humans and the larger biophysical world have had on the global past. From the late 1400s, new encounters and unprecedentedly lengthy trade networks rapidly transformed the Old World Web into the World Wide Web. This process has greatly changed the way that nature and humankind interact on a local, regional, and global scale, greatly amplifying the impact that the two have upon one another. We will be asking three key questions: What role has the environment played in major global dynamics?

In this course, students will learn the fundamental algorithmic and design principles of visualizing and exploring complex data. The course will cover multiple aspects of data presentation including human perception and design theory; algorithms for exploring patterns in data such as topic modeling, clustering, and dimensionality reduction. A wide range of statistical graphics and information visualization techniques will be covered. We will explore numerical data, relational data, temporal data, spatial data, graphs and text. Hands-on projects will be based on Python or JavaScript with D3.

Satisfies the Junior Year Writing requirement. The impact of computers on modern society.

A representative sampling of poetry, novels, short stories, and plays by black and white, male and female writers who draw upon jazz and blues music and lyrics either formally, stylistically, thematically, or spiritually. (Gen.Ed. AL, U)

Rationale and structure of public policies that affect the operation of private markets in the U.S., with special emphasis on consumer goods industries. Focus on antitrust and competition policies (e.g., those covering collusive restraints of trade, monopolization, and mergers) and on policies that affect product quality and information (e.g., product standards, regulation of advertising and labeling). BS-ResEc majors can satisfy their Integrative Experience requirement by taking this course plus Res-Econ 394LI and 452.

This course is intended to help students acquire a broad knowledge of business Korean and relevant Korean business culture. The course aims to develop language skills and general business cultural understanding useful for performing basic business within the Korean business environment. The course focuses on basic business terms, phrases and business etiquette of Korean. We will expand on the grammar acquired in 2nd- and 3rd-year Korean and learn vocabulary useful in business situations.

In the course you will seek practical solutions to complex environmental problems by crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries and using an inquiry, cooperative learning-based approach. You'll learn how to integrate and apply knowledge from the four core areas of the ENVIRSCI curriculum. The main learning goals for this course are to gain in-depth experience in identifying tools and planning solutions for environmental challenges, and to explore how integrating your diverse educational experiences leads to new levels of understanding.
