Same as SDS 220. An application-oriented introduction to modern statistical inference: study design, descriptive statistics; random variables; probability and sampling distributions; point and interval estimates; hypothesis tests, resampling procedures and multiple regression. A wide variety of applications from the natural and social sciences are used. Classes meet for lecture/discussion and for a required laboratory that emphasizes analysis of real data. MTH 220 satisfies the basis requirement for biological science, engineering, environmental science, neuroscience and psychology.

Linear, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions; graphs, mathematical models and optimization. For students who need additional preparation before taking calculus or quantitative courses in scientific fields, economics, government and sociology. Also recommended for prospective teachers whose precalculus mathematics needs strengthening. Laboratory section must be taken concurrently with the lecture section.

A project-oriented study of minerals and the information they contain about planetary processes. The theory and application to mineralogic problems of crystallography, crystal chemistry, crystal optics, x-ray diffraction, quantitative x-ray spectroscopy and other spectroscopic techniques. The course normally includes a weekend field trip to important geologic localities in the Adirondack Mountains. Prerequisite: 101 and 102, or 108, or FYS 103, or 102 with any other GEO 100-level course. 102 can be taken concurrently. Recommended: CHM 111 or equivalent.

This course is a study of American narratives, from a variety of ethnic traditions and historical eras, that explore forms of movement-immigration, migration, relocation, and border crossing-that are deeply imbedded in understandings of American life. We look at how citizenship as a social category and American national belonging is constructed in relation to and, sometimes, in opposition to indigeneity, race, gender and sexuality.

In 2000, climate scientists suggested for the first time that we might have entered a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene in the late 18th century. The Anthropocene is primarily characterized by the prevalence of anthropogenic (human-caused) effects on the environment. That is, they suggested, the most important aspect differentiating this geological epoch from those that preceded it is the ability of humans to change the environment itself.

Topics course. This advanced seminar examines the political implications of treating environmental events and trends as matters of (inter)national security. It approaches the issue historically-examining the conceptual evolution of security over time and the relatively recent incorporation of environmental issues into security frameworks. Primary focus is devoted to climate change, but other ecological issues are examined as well: development, natural resource use, waste and pollution, biodiversity, etc. Prerequisite: 241, 242, 244 or 252

Topics Course An examination of the role of Latinos in society and politics in the U.S. Issues to be analyzed include immigration, education, electoral politics and gender.

A study of the major liberal and radical political theories of the 19th century, with emphasis on the writings of Hegel, Marx, Tocqueville, Mill and Nietsche. Not open to first-year students.

An examination of the great thinkers of the classical and (time permitting) medieval periods. Possible topics include family and the state, freedom and the gods, warfare faction, politics and philosophy, secular and religious authority, justice, citizenship, regimes and natural law. Selected authors include: Sophocles, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Thucydides, Xenophon, Plato, Aristotle, Polybius, Cicero, Lucretious, Augustine, Aquinas and Marsilius.
