Introduction To Computation

Basic concepts of discrete mathematics useful to computer science: set theory, strings and formal languages, propositional and predicate calculus, relations and functions, basic number theory. Induction and recursion: interplay of inductive definition, inductive proof, and recursive algorithms. Graphs, trees, and search. Finite-state machines, regular languages, nondeterministic finite automata, Kleene's Theorem.

S-USCulture&ConflictsAsianPac

In this graduate seminar students will examine the relationship between the United States and their Asian Pacific neighbors since 1800. The course will introduce students to key themes, theoretical frameworks, and chronologies relevant to the United States' diplomatic relations with Japan, China, Korea, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Vietnam. We will then explore the transnational cultural histories of the US with each of these countries.

S-Conversations/Modern LatinAm

We often take for granted that there is a region known as Latin America. Yet, the many countries that constitute it have individual histories that are sometimes quite distinct from each other. There are, however, important similarities and continuities in their histories. The vast majority of the region gained independence from Spain and Portugal in the 1820s. Mexico endured a decade of bloody conflict with Spain and its local allies, while Brazil severed ties with Portugal through a simple declaration.

Women & Gender/Latin America

This course uses gender as an analytical lens to understand 500 years of Latin American history, from the conquest of the Americas to the present-day neoliberal era. We will learn how patriarchy and gender shapes power relations, including political and economic institutions, social relationships, and identities. In turn, we will also explore how the individual and collective actions of women?from witches and beauty queens to armed revolutionaries?have transformed the region. In some cases, their actions have confronted the power of colonizers, fascists, and imperialists. (Gen. Ed. HS, DG)

Roman art: Poli, Id & Portrait

This course probes the construction of identity and its various expressions in the domestic architecture, wall painting and portraiture of the ancient Romans. We will examine the way the Roman house reflects notions of Romanness through its plan, orientation, and programs of the illusionistic frescoes; we will also study the rhetoric of Roman portraits, with particular attention to the representation of aristocrats and the imperial family. If time permits, we will also explore those of the Vestal Virgins, Rome's premier priestesses.
