Big Data brings us to interesting times and promises to revolutionize our society from business to government, from healthcare to academia. As we walk through this digitized age of exploded data, there is an increasing demand to develop unified toolkits for data processing and analysis. In this course our main goal is to rigorously study the mathematical foundation of big data processing, develop algorithms and learn how to analyze them.

Project-based course in which students will work on a semester-long applied research project that analyzes various current systems in western Massachusetts (energy, transportation, agriculture), and identify practical solutions that move towards sustainability. Students identify unique research areas, develop methods and collect data, and analyze and present findings in a report. This course will satisfy the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-NRC and BS-EnvSci majors.

Algebraic geometry is the study of geometric spaces locally defined by polynomial equations. It is a central subject in mathematics with strong connections to differential geometry, number theory, and representation theory. This course will be a fast-paced introduction to the subject with a strong emphasis on examples.
