Instruction and practice in singing intervals, rhythms, and melodies, in interpreting time and key signatures, and in acquiring other aural skills essential to basic musicianship. Recommended background: a basic knowledge of pitch and rhythmic notation. Enrollment limited to 12.

Colloquia are especially designed for those with no previous background in music. Limited to 20 students, they will emphasize class discussion and written work, which will be either music or critical prose as appropriate to the topic. Open to all students, but particularly recommended for first-year students and sophomores. An introduction to music notation and to principles of musical organization, including scales, keys, rhythm, and meter. Limited to beginners and those who did not place into 110.

By permission of the department, normally for majors who have had at least four semester courses at the intermediate level.

Topics course Introduction to partial differential equations to describe physical processes. Heat, wave and Laplace's equations. Separation of variables and Fourier series. Finite difference numerical methods. Applications to the life sciences such as chemotaxis, biochemical reactions/transports, cell cycle and developments. Prerequisites : MTH 211 and either MTH 222, 225, or 243 or by permission of the instructor.

An introduction to the mathematical theory of statistics and to the application of that theory to the real world. Topics include random variables, special distributions, introduction to the estimation of parameters and hypothesis testing. Prerequisites: MTH 212 and MTH 246.

Advanced Real Analysis, a continuation of MTH 243. Topics include Euclidean and Metric Spaces, Implicit Functions, Curves and Surfaces, Differential Calculus in Euclidean Space, Integration. As time permits, and depending on the interests of the class, we may also study Fourier Series, Multiple Integrals, Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations. MTH 243 is required.

Topic: Research in Mathematics. The course is specifically designed for students in the Center for Women in Mathematics, but open to all serious mathematics students. Prerequisites: At least one of MTH 233, 238, or 243 and permission of the instructor. In this course students will work in small groups on original research projects. Prerequisites: At least one of MTH 233, 238, or 243 and permission of the instructor.

In the class we don't do math as much as we talk about doing math and the culture of mathematics. The class will include lectures by students, faculty and visitors on a wide variety of topics, and opportunities to talk with mathematicians about their lives. This course is especially helpful for those considering graduate school in the mathematical sciences. Prerequisites: MTH 211, MTH 212, and two additional mathematics courses at the 200 level, or permission of the instructor. May be repeated once for credit. This course is graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory only.

An introduction to probability and statistical modeling and its application to natural, physical and social science and related disciplines. Data analysis and interpretation, using computer software, are emphasized. Topics include random variables, probability distributions, expectation, estimation, testing, experimental design, quality control, resampling-based inference, and multiple regression. Limited to 25 students. Prerequisite: MTH 111, or MTH 153, or one year of high school calculus, or permission of the instructor.
