Fundamentals of grammar, with selected readings from Latin authors in the second semester. This is a full-year course. Enrollment limited to 30. Y courses cannot be divided at midyear with credit for the first semester.

A year-long course that will include both the fundamentals of grammar and, in the second semester, selected readings from ancient authors, including the New Testament. Y courses cannot be divided at midyear with credit for the first semester.

Topics course. Coral reefs occupy a small portion of Earth?s surface, but their importance to the marine ecosystem is great. This seminar will consider the geologic importance and ecological interactions of coral reefs. We will focus on the status of coral reefs worldwide, considering effects of environmental and anthropogenic disturbances (e.g. major storms, eutrophication, acidification, overfishing). Methods for reef conservation will be examined. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor.

Laboratory sessions in this course will combine observational and experimental protocols both in the lab and in the field. Students will gain familiarity with the diverse lineages of life, and will design and conduct research to address specific hypotheses about a subset of lineages. There will also be field trips to local sites where students will engage in observations of organisms in their natural habitats and in experimental exploration of ecological interactions. Prerequisite: BIO 154 (normally taken concurrently).

A laboratory designed to complement the lecture material in 230. Laboratory and computer projects will investigate methods in molecular biology including recombinant DNA, gene cloning and DNA sequencing as well as contemporary bioinformatics, data mining and the display and analysis of complex genome databases. Prerequisite: BIO 230 (should be taken concurrently).

In sections limited to 15 students each, this course primarily provides systematic instruction and practice in reading and writing academic prose, with emphasis on argumentation. The course also provides instruction and practice in conducting research and in public speaking. Bilingual students and non-native speakers are especially encouraged to register for sections taught by Holly Davis. Priority will be given to incoming students in the fall-semester sections. Course may be repeated for credit with another instructor. Home is more than the physical structure we reside in.

Vector spaces, matrices, linear transformations, systems of linear equations. Applications to be selected from differential equations, foundations of physics, geometry, and other topics. Students may not receive credit for both MTH 211 and MTH 210. Prerequisite: MTH 112 or the equivalent, or MTH 111 and MTH 153; MTH 153 is suggested.
