S-SocMediaAnalysis&CompSocSci

Can we use computation to study society? As computing appears everywhere in daily life, computational techniques could help us understand key social scientific questions. But also, since computing is becoming more social, insights from social science may help us design better systems for users. This seminar will consist of readings and presentations on (1) social media analysis, and (2) computational social science.

ST-Urdu VI

This course combines independent study with small group conversation sessions and one-on-one peer-tutoring. Students studying Urdu develop speaking, listening, and basic literacy skills needed for study abroad in Pakistan and to support course work in South Asian Studies.

Intro Linear Algebra

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.]

Proposal Writing

A one-credit class that guides students through the proposal writing process required for entry into the BDIC major. Students will investigate career and graduate school options, finalize their course selections for the BDIC major and choose a faculty sponsor within the scope of the class. Admission to the class by application only.

Women, Gender, Pop Cul

(Offered as SWAG 105 and FAMS 377.) In this course, students will interrogate the precarious relationship between political and popular culture. As we study how politics has successfully deployed popular culture as an ideological tool, we will also consider how politics has overburdened popular culture as a vehicle of change. These broad issues will serve as our framework for analyzing black femininity, womanhood, and the efficacy of the word “feminism” in the post-Civil Rights era.

ST-Modern Irish III

Modern Irish III is the third part of a four-part elementary course sequence in Modern Irish (also known as Irish Gaelic). The independent study format includes small group conversation sessions and an evaluation by an outside evaluator. Students studying Modern Irish develop speaking and listening skills useful for study abroad in Ireland and to support course work in Celtic Studies.

Computational Geometry

An introduction to the main theoretical and algorithmic techniques from Computational Geometry. Topics covered include covex hulls, triangulations, Voronoi diagrams, visibility, art gallery problems, collision detection, motion planning and folding.
