This add on to CMPSCI 121 consists entirely of five additional more advanced programs that students write to extend the coding experience available in the base 121 class. The course is intended primarily for students in 121 who have some previous programming experience. Must be enrolled in CMPSCI 121 concurrently.

This course is a graduate level introduction to certain types of extremal problems in mathematics. Though the objects we study come from disparate parts of mathematics (coding theory, graph theory, curves over finite fields, algebraic number fields, lattices, ...), there is an underlying common structure to all the problems, whereby upper bounds on the 'quality' of the objects come from zeta functions, and the lower bound on existence of optimal or near-optimal objects come from group theory (or modular forms).

A continuation of Math 731. General class of equations and systems, modeled on the prototypes studied in 731. Linear hyperbolic systems. Parabolic evolution equations, and semigroups of operators. Linear elliptic equations of second order. Topics in nonlinear equations. Possible topics include: hyperbolic conservation laws; nonlinear parabolic systemsreaction-diffusion equations, Navier-Stokes equations; mean curvature equations; free-boundary problems. Prerequisite: Math 731.

This course will examine the history of pardons, amnesties, and public memory. The center of the course is bound up in the history of Brazil, Argentina, and Chile from the 1960s to the end of the century. In this time each country underwent a period of dictatorial military rule and then a peaceful transition to a democratic government.

The purpose of this course is to develop critical thinking in the study of economic theories from pre-Classical to 21st century developments in economic thought. The perspective of the course is multi-disciplinary, in line with the objectives of the integrative educational experience. Students are required to do two writing assignments that integrate prior learning into the analysis of the economic theories covered in the course and to present these projects in both poster session and PowerPoint formats.

This course addresses main debates and perspectives on the economic and social transformation associated with the spread of new media technologies, from various forms of collaborative and social software, to mobile phones and wireless broadband delivery systems. Assuming a social shaping of technology approach, we will examine topics such as: peer to peer networks and emerging forms of social production; mobile phones, social networks and social protest; and broadband delivery systems, social inequalities and the digital divide.
