Topics course An introduction to the theory of Dynamical Systems with applications. A dynamical system is a system that evolves with time under certain rules. We will look at both continuous and discrete dynamical systems when the rules are given by differential equations or iteration of transformations. We will study the stability of equilibria or periodic orbits, bifurcations, chaos and strange attractors. Applications will often be biological during the course, but students will do their final project on a scientific application of their choice.

Computational data analysis is an essential part of modern statistics. This course provides a practical foundation for students to compute with data, by participating in the entire data analysis cycle (from forming a statistical question, data acquisition, cleaning, transforming, modeling and interpretation). This course will introduce students to tools for data management, storage and manipulation that are common in data science and will apply those tools to real scenarios. Students will undertake practical analyses using real, large, messy data sets using modern computing tools (e.g.

Applications of the integral, dynamical systems, infinite series, and approximation of functions. Situations in science and social sciences in which calculus naturally arises are emphasized. Students may not receive credit for both 114 and 112 Prerequisite: MTH 111 or the equivalent.

This eight-week lecture series will provide an overview of the financial system and the role of financial institutions in the global economy; domestic and international regulation; domestic and international banking. Faculty and guest lecturers will reflect on contemporary developments and challenges in their fields.

What was the Renaissance? The word is literally "rebirth" but, capitalized, it usually means European rediscovery of Greek and Roman cultures (mediated by translations from the Arabic) between 14th and 16th

Advanced work in choreographic design and related production design. Study of the creative process and how it is manifested in choreography. Prerequisite: two semesters of choreography.

This course offers an in-depth exploration of aesthetic and interpretive issues in dance performance. Through experiments with improvisation, musical phrasing, partnering, personal imagery and other modes of developing and embodying movement material, dancers explore ways in which a choreographer?s vision is formed, altered, adapted, and finally presented in performance. In its four credit version, this course also requires additional readings and research into broader issues of historical context, genre, and technical style.

Rather than working from a singular movement approach, emphasis in this course is placed on understanding the dynamic relationship of both dance and yoga from multiple perspectives. We will explore how these two practices reflect, inform, and enhance each other through their anatomical/energetic organization and alignment strategies, movement logic and sequencing, and embodied awareness in motion and stillness.

This course for beginners will introduce students to ballroom dance, focusing on technique, alignment, styling, rhythm and musicality. The course will cover Latin (Rhythm) and Smooth dances, Salsa, Cha-Cha, Waltz, Tango, Rumba, and others, as well as other popular current forms. Enrollment limited to 30. (E)
