This course provides an introduction to the more commonly-used multivariate statistical methods. Topics include principal component analysis, factor analysis, clustering, discrimination and classification, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and repeated measures analysis. The course includes a computing component in R.

This course aims to develop analytical, decision-making and communication skills as related to researching and developing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary solutions to big problems (aka Wicked Problems). The class exposes or ?bursts the bubble? of major issues facing the global economy, cultures, and communities and the global population. The class will look primarily at the UN Sustainable Development Goals as well as other topics.

This course offers an introduction to the field of clinical child psychology. We will review contemporary approaches to understanding the clinical features, diagnosis, causes, developmental course, prevention, and treatment of major psychological disorders in childhood and adolescence.

This is a writing-intensive course that fulfills the University's Junior Writing requirement. Each section focuses on a particular aspect of current issues in psychology. The topic is selected based on the expertise of the teaching staff. All sections share similar writing assignments, ranging from in-class short writing assignments to lengthy papers that include literature review. Classes emphasize discussion and extensive peer review of written work. Topics for individual sections will not be available until shortly before the start of the semester.

This course is designed to appeal to students interested in Environmental Studies (specifically environmentalist social movements) as well as those interested in Political Theory, or both. In the context of the current ecological crises (global climate change, the proliferation of nuclear energy and weapons, bees? extinction, pollution in general?), environmental thought and politics have boomed. During the first half of the semester, we will survey important schools of thought within what has come to be called ?ecosophy? or ?environmental political theory? (EPT).

variety of systems are driven out of equilibrium by converting energy to momentum at the constituent particle level. Self-propelling particles then interact and spontaneously organize into large-scale patterns. These active matters exhibit exotic properties such as collective motion, zero and negative viscosity, and production of net work from noise. Examples of active matter cover many orders of amplitude on length scale, ranging from microtubules in cells (nm) to schools of fish and flocks of birds(m).

Angular momentum, time dependent and time independent perturbation theory, semi-classical and quantum treatment of radiation, scattering theory, Klein-Gordon equation, Dirac equation. Prerequisite: PHYSICS 614.
