An overview of research projects on the acquisition of Spanish as a second language. Students will learn about the theoretical approaches used in these studies as well as the effects of various pedagogical approaches on the development of Spanish interlanguage systems. While the focus of the course is on the acquisition of Spanish as a second language, students will gain a broad and useful understanding of different pedagogical issues directly related to the acquisition/learning process(es) of other second languages. Prerequisite: Hispanic Studies 309 or consent of instructor. Alternate years. (4 credits)

How do you translate a haiku, a one-line, seventeen-syllable Japanese poem In three lines, as is normal for haiku in English Or, like the original, in seventeen syllables These are some of the questions we will consider in this course, which covers both the practical aspects of translating Japanese (from haiku to film subtitles) and the theoretical implications of this act (such as fidelity, difference, and orientalism). Assignments will consist of readings in translation theory and practice, with particular emphasis on Japanese literary translation, as well as exercises in Japanese-to-English translation. In addition, students will complete a final translation project of publishable quality. Prerequisite: JAPA 305 (Advanced Japanese 1) or higher. Readings are in English and Japanese. Offered every year. (4 credits)

Introduction to a spectrum of modern applications of mathematics. Case studies will be taken from a range of fields, including mathematics, economics, political science, environmental science, computer science, and the fine arts. Focus is on understanding where and how mathematics can be used in a social, political, or civic setting. The course is designed for students looking to fulfill the natural sciences and mathematics distribution requirement. Example topics might include game theory, voting systems, symmetry and patterns, risk analysis, coding theory and cryptography. No prerequisites. Alternate spring semesters; next offered Spring 2010. (4 credits)

3.00 Credits
This course is intended to give students from diverse areas of science-e.g., economics, biology, physics, chemistry, geography, geology, mathematics, engineering, statistics-an ability to write software for solving problems and carrying out research in those disciplines. The course provides an introduction to programming and computation as well as to a number of important and widely used techniques: scientific graphics, equation solving, function fitting, optimization, storing and searching data, and simulation. There is an emphasis on ways to represent and transform information on the computer in addition to numbers and text: images, sound, graphs and databases. Prerequisite: No prerequisites. Every fall. (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the field of computer science, including central concepts such as the design and implementation of algorithms and programs, testing and analyzing programs, the representation of information within the computer, and the role of abstraction and metaphor in computer science. The exploration of these central ideas will draw from the breadth of computer science, with an emphasis on two major application areas: multimedia processing (images, sound, and text) and robotics (control systems for autonomous robots). Course work will use the Python programming language. No prerequisites. Every semester. (4 credits)
