Summarizing, interpreting, and analyzing empirical data. Attention to descriptive statistics and statistical inference. Topics include elementary sampling, probability, sampling distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing and regression. Assignments include use of statistical software and micro computers to analyze labor market and other economic data. Prerequisite: 150 or 153. Students will not be given credit for both ECO 220 and any of the following courses: MTH 190/PSY 190, GOV 190, MTH 241, MTH 245, or SOC 201.

The laboratory assignments allow students to observe microorganisms from diverse habitats present in the Lyman Plant House. Students will sample microbes associated with specific plants plus microbes present across the gradients of temperature and moisture within the plant house, students will then use microscopy and molecular techniques for experimentation with these organisms. Emphasis is on completion of an independent project. BIO 370 must be taken concurrently.

This course focuses on the origin and diversification of microorganisms, with emphasis on eukaryotic cells (cells with nuclei). The first weeks of lecture will cover the basics of evolutionary analysis, and the origin and diversification of bacteria and archaea. From there, we will focus on the diversification of eukaryotes, with specific lectures on topics such as microbes and AIDS, and the origins of plants, animals and fungi. Evaluation is based on a combination of tests, discussions and a research paper on a topic chosen by each student. Prerequisite: BIO 152 or 154.

This two-semester introductory laboratory experience focuses on the biology of bacteriophage, important players in microbial ecosystems. In collaboration with laboratories around the country, you will be involved in the discovery, isolation, characterization and description of previously unknown bacteriophages. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. Crucial to the "horizontal" transfer of genetic information, they have shaped the evolution of bacterial physiology and bacterial genomes.

A study of the history of free blacks from the 17th century to the abolition of slavery in 1865. A major problem created by the establishment of slavery based on race by the 1660s was what was to be the status of free blacks. Each local and state government addressed the political, economic, and even religious questions raised by having free blacks in a slave society. This course will address a neglected theme in the history of the Afro-American experience, i.e., the history of free blacks before the passage of the thirteenth amendment. Recommended background: AAS 117.

An interdisciplinary study of Afro-American history beginning with the Brown Decision in 1954. Particular attention will be given to the factors which contributed to the formative years of "Civil Rights Movements," Black films and music of the era, the rise of "Black Nationalism," and the importance of Afro-Americans in the Vietnam War. Recommended background: survey course in Afro-American history, American history, or Afro-American literature. Enrollment limited to 40.

Prerequisite: 215. L. Prerequisite: 215. L.

For juniors and seniors, admission by permission of the Global South Development Studies Advisory Board. Can only be taken once to count toward the minor.

Rates of change, differential equations and their numerical solutions, integration, differentiation, and the fundamental theorem of the calculus. Situations in science and social science in which calculus naturally arises are emphasized.
