Basic Physics: Quantum Mech

This course investigates the structure of modern theoretical physics, one of the most powerful intellectual influences of the 20th century, with a focus on quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics underlies our current understanding of atoms, particles, and virtually all physical processes, including those governing chemistry and biology. In addition to having exciting modern applications, such as quantum computation and quantum teleportation, quantum mechanics has profound philosophical consequences for our understanding of the nature of reality at the fundamental level.

Fourth-Year Chinese I

This course is designed for students who have completed three years of Chinese at the college level. The emphasis is on building substantial sophisticated vocabulary and reading various genres of writings and literary works like newspaper articles, essays, and short novels, etc. Development of a higher level of proficiency of the four skills will be stressed through class discussions, writing compositions, listening to TV news clips and watching movies that are supplemental to the themes of the reading materials. Class will be conducted entirely in Chinese.

Third-Year Chinese I

This course is designed to expose students to more advanced and comprehensive knowledge of Mandarin Chinese, with an emphasis on both linguistic competence and communicative competence. Expanding of vocabulary and development of reading comprehension will be through different genres of authentic texts. Students will be trained to write short essays on a variety of topics. Three class hours are supplemented by two drill sessions.


Requisite: CHIN 104, 202 or equivalent. Fall semester. Senior Lecturer Li.

Public Opinion in Politics

This course explores the landscape of opinion on a variety of political topics to develop an understanding about how the public thinks about issues and why they think the way they do. It also examines how peoples' opinions influence their behavior, and whether or not political leaders follow the "will of the public" or manipulate public opinion to achieve their own aims.

ST-Deep Learning

This course will focus on modern, practical methods for deep learning. The course will begin with a description of simple classifiers such as perceptrons and logistic regression classifiers, and move on to standard neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and some elements of recurrent neural networks, such as long short-term memory networks (LSTMs). The emphasis will be on understanding the basics and on practical application more than on theory.
