Staff The AISS program is an intensive honors-level course sequence co-taught by faculty from different disciplines. The sequence provides an integrative approach to the fundamentals of biology, chemistry, and physics. The course is designed for first-year students with broad, interdisciplinary scientific interests and a strong background in mathematics. It will feature computer modeling, seminar discussions, lectures, interdisciplinary laboratories and hands-on activities. The sequence consists of four interdisciplinary science courses, two in the fall semester (AISS 1A and AISS 1B) and two in the spring semester (AISS 2A and AISS 2B). Completion of the sequence provides entry into the more advanced courses for the majors of the Joint Science Department. Students interested in engineering or premed must consult with the engineering or premed advisers before enrolling in the sequence. Written permission required. Laboratory fee $50. Offered every year. 1po. Introductory Astronomy. Choi A non-mathematical survey of modern astronomy, emphasizing new and exciting observational results from space and ground-based observatories, and how they shape contemporary understanding of the formation and evolution of the universe and solar system. Topics cover all aspects of modern astronomy, including planetary, stellar, and extragalactic astronomy. Includes a laboratory component with telescopic observational exercises and computer simulations of various astronomical situations. Offered every year. 3po. Life in the Universe. Penprase Interdisciplinary seminar on origin of life on Earth and possibility for life elsewhere in the universe. Emphasizes individualized and group research and learning. Topics include the creation of the universe and cosmology, the evolution of galaxies and stars, the interstellar medium and the formation of solar systems, the origin and evolution of life on Earth, and the search for extrasolar planets and extraterrestrial life and intelligence. Offered every year.

Lefkowitz, Williams A one-semester accelerated general chemistry course as an alternative to the year-long Basic Principles of Chemistry sequence (14-15) for students with a strong chemistry background. This course will cover atomic and molecular structure, spectroscopy, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, equilibria, transition materials, nuclear chemistry, and descriptive inorganic chemistry. Prerequisites: 4 or 5 on the Chemistry Advanced Placement test (or a score of 6 or 7 on the Higher Level Baccalaureate Exam), completion of a comparable honors chemistry course in high school), Mathematics 30 (or concurrent enrollment), and permission of instructor. Laboratory fee $50 per semester. Offered every spring semester.

1.50 Credits
Staff A first-year general physics course introducing mechanics, sound, fluids, wave motion, heat, electricity, magnetism, atomic physics, relativity, and nuclear physics. This course is designed for majors in fields other than physics, chemistry, or engineering. Prerequisite or co-requisite: Mathematics 30. Calculus I, or permission of instructor. (Physics 30 is a prerequisite for Physics 31.) Laboratory fee $50 per semester. Offered every year.
-
1.50 Credits
Gould, Jensen, Naftilan A first-year general physics course designed for physics, chemistry, and engineering majors. Topics include Newtonian mechanics, gravitation, fluids, wave motion, electrical measurements, DC and AC circuits, Maxwell's equations, and light. Prerequisite: previous calculus experience or Mathematics 30 and 31 taken concurrently, or permission of instructor. (Physics 33 is a prerequisite for 34.) Laboratory fee $50. Offered every year.
-
1.50 Credits
Gould An introductory modern physics course designed as a continuation for Physics 33, 34. Topics include thermodynamics, relativity, atomic physics, elementary quantum mechanics, chemical bonding, solid state physics, band theory and appropriate applications. Prerequisites: Physics 34, or both semesters of the AISS sequence, and Mathematics 32. Mathematics 32 may be taken concurrently. Offered every fall semester.

1.50 Credits
Milton Neurobiology of motor skills, expertise, and performance. Noninvasive methods of motion analysis (observation, motion capture, EEG/EMG, multimodal imaging). Teaching interventions. Laboratory examines development of basic sporting skills in children, athletes, and those with disabilities. This course will fulfill the general education requirement in biology, but will not count towards the major in biology. Laboratory fee $35. Offered every fall semester.
-
1.50 Credits
Staff This course explores life at the molecular and cellular level as an introduction to the cellular processes and gene expression patterns that underlie organismal physiology and evolution through lectures, discussion, and laboratory exercises. Topics include cell and molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry. Laboratory fee $50. Offered every semester.
-
1.50 Credits
Staff Topics discussed in lecture, and demonstrated in laboratory, include structure, function and evolution of plant and animal forms, physiology of plant and animal systems, and the principles of ecology. Laboratory fee $50. Offered every spring semester.
