This course is designed for business major students aspiring to develop a deeper understanding of artificial intelligence and its use in business applications. The course will provide an introductory overview of different mathematical and computational data analysis tools and machine learning techniques commonly used in artificial intelligence. Focus will be on case studies and applications that demonstrate how artificial intelligence can augment current business operations.

Students organize, interpret and document data using processes of interviewing, physical exam, and clinical reasoning skills.

This course is an honors colloquium for COMPSCI 250. Students will explore and discuss topics from the CS250 curriculum in greater detail, with emphasis on logic, and then number theory, recurrences, grammars and automata. Students will do a project presentation on a topic of their choosing.

Algorithms and data increasingly power our private and civic life. Companies, nonprofits, and governments have invested heavily in data mining - the bulk collection of user behavior data from web platforms to understand public opinion and to forecast trends. A lot of fashionable terms, such as artificial intelligence and big data, are being thrown around these days. The public and regulators also become increasingly wary of the dark side of algorithms ?

Introduction to foreign exchange markets and currency regimes. Managing currency risk in international markets, and the use of hedging instruments, including currency derivatives.

Electron Microscopy plays a critical role in almost every area of modern science and engineering. The course attempts to show the remarkably versatile world of electron microscopy starting from the basics of electron-matter interactions to resolving atoms or the sophisticated generation of 3-dimensional reconstructions of molecule structures. An interdisciplinary range of examples stretching from Materials to Biological samples will be presented and discussed. The class will include a visit to the Electron Microscopy Center.

Polymers are ubiquitous in the modern world. All plastics are composed of polymers, and their disposal and waste is a huge societal problem. At the same time, polymers support the environment and human health in critically important ways, such as in lithium ion batteries for renewable energy storage, improved food safety, and life-saving medical devices. The molecules that underpin life, DNA and proteins, are also polymers.

Have you always wanted to learn to play the ukulele? Do you love to sing by yourself and with others? This seminar will help students explore their musical side in a fun and supportive environment. No prior ukulele experience is required, though prior singing experience is a plus.

We all feel it? the siren call of screens; the fracturing of our attentions, the intrusion of Big Tech into what once were the innermost sanctums of the human experience. Our attention has been transformed into a monetized asset in what some scholars call our age of ?surveillance capitalism.? The more human behavioral data these companies collect, the savvier they become at designing devices and algorithms that capture and train our attention. In this course, we?ll consider how the ?attention crisis? impacts our democracy, our minds, our capacity to think, and our connections to each other.

This course will explore the intersections of movement and sleep neuroscience, self-care, and academic performance. Through varied approaches, students will engage with material on both individual and collective levels, fostering interpersonal connections and promoting self-care practices. By integrating theory with practical application, students will gain insights into brain health while developing essential skills for success in college and beyond.
