Continuity, limits, and the derivative for algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, and inverse functions. Applications to physics, chemistry, and engineering. Students expected to have and use a Texas Instruments 89 Titanium Graphing Calculator. Prerequisites: high school algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. Honors section available first semester. (Gen.Ed. R2)

[Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]

With lab. Introduction to the investigation of meaning from a linguistic, philosophical, and psychological point of view. How do words get their meanings, and how do we combine simple meanings to create complex ones? How can new meanings be created on the spot? What does context contribute to meaning? How are meanings connected to syntactic structure and intonation? Prerequisite: LINGUIST 201 and 401.

Language acquisition proceeds through sharp, clear steps that reflect on how our mind is organized. Should all of human nature, emotions, gestures, conscious and unconscious thought be built on the same model?

Introduction to some basic mathematical concepts and techniques central to linguistic theory. Set theory, logic and formal systems, modern algebra, automata theory, and model theory. Applications to syntax, phonology, semantics. No prior mathematics assumed. Not open to math majors. Prerequisite: LINGUIST 201 or 401.

Introduction to psycholinguistics concentrating on the perception of linguistic form and the comprehension of discourse. Mental representation of grammar, psychological reality of linguistic models, empirically-motivated processing models. Prerequisite: LINGUIST 601.

Introduction to psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, with emphasis on techniques and results of recent theoretical and experimental work and the psychological underpinnings for the mental representation and processing of language. Primary focus on comprehension, and the biological basis of language, relation of linguistic capacity to brain structure and at most limited discussion of language production and language acquisition. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Ling majors. Prerequisite: LINGUIST 201.
