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.

Fellows work on sustainability initiatives around campus and are sponsored by a faculty member.

This course is a farmer's perspective on the sustainable management of cows, sheep and goats on a small farm. It provides students with a clear understanding of how to think through the planning and management of cows, sheep and goats for meat production. All aspects from breeding to marketing will be addressed. Students will gain a rudimentary plan on how to incorporate ruminants into their small farm plan.

What if we took the phrase "digital native" literally? Beyond people who have never not known the internet, would we also have to consider that simple statistics suggest it is much more likely than not that we are all living in a computer simulation? Would we have to ponder the relative subjectivities of everyday objects, from our phones to our transportation systems? More immediately, would we be thinking in terms of science fiction or contemporary media theory?

This course gives students a brief overview of several topics of practical importance to statisticians doing data analysis. It focuses on topics not typically covered in the required curriculum, but of use to students earning advanced degrees in statistics.

A moduli space appears each time we want to parametrize all geometric objects of some sort. "Geometry" in our course will mean mostly, but not exclusively, complex algebraic geometry. For example, elliptic curves are classified by the so-called J-invariant and the moduli space of elliptic curves is a line (with coordinate J). The Jacobian of a Riemann surface is another example of a moduli space: it classifies line bundles on a Riemann surface.

This course studies problems with multiple scales in time and/or space and derive simplified equations that feel the fine-scale effects in an averaged way. Multiscale structure is widely found in mathematics applied to biological, chemical, and engineering applications, and the study of such structures is a rapidly developing field. We will study multiscale discrete and continuum models starting with ordinary differential equations and progressing to include Markov processes, stochastic differential equations, and partial differential equations.

Basic concepts of linear algebra. Matrices, determinants, systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, and eigenvalues. Prerequisite or corequisite: MATH 132, or 136, or consent of instructor. (Gen.Ed. R2)

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