MODELING IN THE SCIENCES

Same as MTH 205
This course integrates the use of mathematics and computers for modeling various phenomena drawn from the natural and social sciences. Scientific topics, organized as case studies, will span a wide range of systems at all scales, with special emphasis on the life sciences. Mathematical tools include data analysis, discrete and continuous dynamical systems and discrete geometry. This is a project-based course and provides elementary training in programming using Mathematica. Prerequisites: MTH 112 or MTH 114. CSC 111 recommended. Enrollment limited to 20.

STATISTICAL THINKING

An introduction to statistics that teaches broadly relevant concepts. Students from all disciplines are welcome. Topics include graphical and numerical methods for summarizing data; binomial and normal probability distributions; point and interval estimates for means and for proportions; one- and two-sample tests for means and for proportions; principles of experimental design. The class meets in a computer lab and emphasizes using the computer for analysis of data. Students will design experiments, collect and analyze the data, and write reports on findings. Enrollment limited to 25.

KOREAN II

Intermediate Korean II is the second part of a one-year intensive course for students who have already completed the intermediate-level Korean course, Intermediate Korean I, or who have the equivalent language competence in Korean. Designed for students seeking to become bilingual (or multilingual), this course provides numerous and varied opportunities to develop and practice speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.

PHOTOGRAPHY I

An introduction to visual experience through a study of the basic elements of photography as an expressive medium. Prerequisite: ARS 162, 172, 173 (pending Cap approval), or permission of the instructor. Each section will involve either traditional film and darkroom photography, or a combination of darkroom and digital processes. A required fee of $75 to cover group supplied materials will be charged at the time of registration. Enrollment limited to 15 per section.

QUANTUM MECHANICS

The formal structure of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, including operator methods. Wave packets; quantum mechanical scattering and tunneling; central potentials; matrix mechanics of spin, addition of angular momenta; corrections to the hydrogen spectrum; identical particles and exchange symmetry; EPR paradox, Bell?s Theorem, and the interpretation of quantum mechanics. Prerequisites: 317 or permission of the instructor.

INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS III

The special theory of relativity; the wave equation and mathematics of waves; optical phenomena of interference and diffraction; particle and wave models of matter and radiation, Bohr model of atomic structure; introduction to fundamental principles and problems in quantum mechanics; introduction to nuclear physics. Prerequisite: 118 or permission of the instructor.

SPECIAL STUDIES

Admission by permission of the instructor. Special Studies are open only to qualified juniors and seniors, and in appropriate cases, to sophomores. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor in advance of the semester they intend to do ENV 400.

INTERMEDIATE ARABIC II

A continuation of ARA 200. We will complete the study of the AlKitaab II book sequence along with additional instructional materials. In this course, we will continue perfecting knowledge of Arabic integrating the four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing using a communicative-oriented, proficiency-based approach.
