This course covers the fundamentals of algebraic number theory. Topics include rings of integers, norms/traces, discriminants/differents, ideal decomposition in extensions, decomposition/inertia groups, Frobenius, Dirichlet's unit theorem, class groups, and valuations.

We will introduce the classical concepts and techniques of the calculus of variations, that is, the extremization of functionals. The standard problem in the calculus of variations concerns functionals that are integrals of an integrand depending on the unknown function and its first derivatives. We will first consider one-dimensional problems, for which the generic form may be interpreted as Hamilton's principle of least action in classical mechanics. We will consider necessary conditions (Euler-Lagrange equations) and some sufficient conditions (Jacobi theory) for extrema.

Designed for students in the social science and business related fields of study. Introduction to basic statistical methods used to collect, summarize, and analyze numerical data. Emphasis on application to decision making; examples from the social sciences and business. Topics include: common statistical notation, elementary probability theory, sampling, descriptive statistics, statistical estimation and hypothesis testing. Basic algebra and familiarity with computer and internet necessary. (Gen.Ed. R2)

Basic principles of human nutrition. Energy needs. Chemical structures, physical characteristics, and metabolism of protein, carbohydrate, lipids, minerals, and vitamins. Human requirements at various ages. Food sources. Effects of deficiency or excess on health. Prerequisites: general biology and chemistry; organic chemistry concurrent.

This course examines the social processes of rule-making and rule-breaking, and how categories of "normal" and "deviance" change historically. We examine different theories of conformity and deviance, using topics such as sexuality and politics.
