Intermediate Calculus

A continuation of MATH 111. Inverse trigonometric functions; methods of integration, both exact and approximate, and applications (if time allows); improper integrals; l’Hôpital’s rule; infinite series, power series and the Taylor development; and polar coordinates.

A grade of C or better in MATH 106 or 111, or Math Placement into 121, or consent of the Department is required.

How to handle overenrollment: Students may be moved to another section that fits their course schedule.

Intro to the Calculus

Basic concepts of limits, derivatives, anti-derivatives; applications, including max/min problems and related rates; the definite integral, simple applications; trigonometric functions; logarithms and exponential functions.

Math placement into MATH 111 is required. In the Fall semester, the intensive section (Section 01) includes one additional weekly class meeting and is open only to students with placement into that section.

Calculus w Elem Functns

MATH 106 is a continuation of MATH 105. Trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions will be studied from the point of view of both algebra and calculus. The applications encountered in MATH 105 will reappear in problems involving these new functions. The basic ideas and theorems of calculus will be reviewed in detail, with more attention being paid to rigor.

Prerequisite: MATH 105.

Intro to Latin America

(Offered as HIST 264 [LA/TC/TE/TR/P] and LLAS 264)  Over the course of three centuries, massive migrations from Europe and Africa and the dramatic decline of indigenous populations in South and Central America radically transformed the cultural, political, economic, and material landscape of what we today know as Latin America. This course will investigate the dynamism of Latin American societies beginning in the ancient or pre-conquest period and ending with the collapse of European rule in most Spanish, Portuguese, and French speaking territories in the New World.

Senior Honors

Independent work under the guidance of a tutor assigned by the Department. Open to senior LJST majors who wish to pursue a self-defined project in reading and writing and to work under the close supervision of a faculty member.

Admission with consent of the instructor. Spring semester. The Department.

Law's Others

(Analytic Seminar)  “Can one divide human reality, as indeed human reality seems to be genuinely divided, into clearly different cultures, histories, traditions, societies, even races, and survive the consequences humanly?” This question –the question of the ordering of knowledge and its implications– lies at the heart of Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978). Nearly fifty years after its publication, it is hard to find a discipline in the humanities and the social sciences that has not been influenced by its powerful interventions.

Law and Empire

This course will introduce students to the field of international law by considering its historical and contemporary entanglements with empire and imperialism. International law has played a foundational role in articulating the norms that govern relations between the West and the Global South. It contributed, in particular, to authorizing various legal forms of imperial domination, from the early modern laws of conquest down to present ideologies of empire.
