In sections limited to 15 students each, this course primarily provides systematic instruction and practice in reading and writing academic prose, with emphasis on argumentation. The course also provides instruction and practice in conducting research and in public speaking. Bilingual students and nonnative speakers are especially encouraged to register for sections taught by Holly Davis and Ethan Myers. Priority is given to incoming students in the fall-semester sections. Course may be repeated for credit with another instructor. We live in a world where everybody seems to be performing.

Introduction to a block-structured, object-oriented high-level programming language. Covering language syntax and use the language to teach program design, coding, debugging, testing and documentation. Procedural and data abstraction are introduced. Enrollment limited to 48; 24 per lab section.

This course provides an in-depth exploration of the recruiting process across all three divisions of the NCAA. We explore the entire recruiting process including identifying prospects, understanding your product, creating a brand, networking with allies, developing a recruiting strategy, recruiting through social media, understanding NCAA recruiting rules, generating strong communication with recruits and parents, attracting recruits from diverse backgrounds, implementing creative on campus visits, managing a recruiting budget and exploring recruiting software programs.

An introduction to the principles of successful coaching at a U.S. college. This course introduces students to the basics of coaching, covering a variety of subjects including coaching philosophy; principles of teaching; physical training; motion analysis; management and administration of teams; NCAA regulations; and recruiting. This is an introductory course that orients the student to the basics of coaching. It prepares the student for more in-depth courses in such areas as biomechanics, exercise physiology and motor learning.

Modern civilization relies profoundly on efficient production, management and consumption of energy. Thermodynamics is the science of energy transformations involving work, heat and the properties of matter. Engineers rely on thermodynamics to assess the feasibility of their designs in a wide variety of fields including chemical processing, pollution control and abatement, power generation, materials science, engine design, construction, refrigeration and microchip processing.

Limited enrollment. Offered both semesters each year at Smith and in the Five Colleges.

Applications of the integral, dynamical systems, infinite series and approximation of functions. Situations in science and social sciences in which calculus naturally arises are emphasized. Students may not receive credit for both 114 and 112 Prerequisite: MTH 111 or the equivalent.

Theory and applications of limits, derivatives and integrals of functions of one, two and three variables. Curves in two and three dimensional space, vector functions, double and triple integrals, polar, cylindrical, spherical coordinates. Path integration and Green's Theorem. Prerequisites: MTH 112 or MTH 114. It is suggested that MTH 211 be taken before or concurrently with MTH 212.

Topics course. An introduction to the theory of Dynamical Systems with applications. A dynamical system is a system that evolves with time under certain rules. We look at both continuous and discrete dynamical systems when the rules are given by differential equations or iteration of transformations. We study the stability of equilibria or periodic orbits, bifurcations, chaos and strange attractors. Applications often be biological during the course, but students do their final project on a scientific application of their choice.
