Calculus I

Continuity, limits, and the derivative for algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, and inverse functions. Applications to physics, chemistry, and engineering. Prerequisites: high school algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. Honors section available first semester. (Gen.Ed. R2) [Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]

Improving Value in Health

This course examines value in the US healthcare delivery system. By introducing value as a concept we take on the issue of how to improve outcomes and the cost of healthcare delivery. We will think about how to measure value and understand the various stakeholder perspectives of value. We will examine ways to improve the value of healthcare delivery from the perspective of health systems, providers and policy makers. The notions of improvement, innovation and reliability to improve value will be core concepts discussed.

Social Impact of Mass Media

This course explores the influence of the mass media on the social world, particularly the media's impact on audiences. We will investigate various approaches utilized to determine if, when, and how media influence viewers, listeners, and readers. We will examine this issue from both scientific and cultural studies perspectives. Some of the questions we will consider include: How does television violence impact society and individuals? Can watching sex on television and film lead to teenage promiscuity? Are political advertisements and news coverage creating a more or less informed voter?

Circuits and Electronics I

Mathematical models for analog circuit elements such as resistors, capacitors, opamps and MOSFETs as switches. Basic circuit laws and network theorems applied to dc, transient, and steady-state response of first- and second-order circuits. Modeling circuit responses using differential equations Computer and laboratory projects. NOTE: Grades of C or better in MATH 132 and PHYSICS 152 are strongly recommended.

Public History Workshop

This course is a community service learning course in which the students work together on a semester-long public history project with a community partner, learning research and presentation skills useful for working in any local community environmental center or museum.
