A Mentored Advanced Project is an approved course of faculty-directed scholarly or creative work that is the culmination of significant preparatory work and aims to produce results that merit presentation to the College community or the wider scholarly world. The Mentored Advanced Project takes place under the direct and continuous supervision of a Grinnell faculty member. Since MAPs are advanced and intensive, the first component of a multiterm MAP must earn four credits. Subsequent portions (such as a "follow-up" MAP) may earntwo or four credits. Each component of a multiterm MAP will receive a grade. Prerequisite: completion of second-year student status; approval by the faculty director, the academic adviser, and the academic program in which the MAP takes place. Specific MAP offerings are described in greater detail by departments, concentrations, divisions, and nondepartmental majors.

This discussion-based, interdisciplinary Latin American studies course approaches "culture" broadly to include a wide spectrum of everyday experiences,and provides students with a solid foundation for subsequent academic work in the region. The course begins with an overview of definitions of "Latin America" and of its current state as an object of interdisciplinary study and then explores contemporary issues (i.e. state repression, human rights, immigration) via various disciplines (humanities and social sciences) and genres (i.e. academic essays, narrative journalism, testimonio). Not open to those who have taken Spanish 221. APARICIO, BENOIST.

4.00 Credits
An interdisciplinary senior research project for students completing the concentration in Latin American Studies. May be repeated in consecutive semesters by a student pursuing a single research project. Credits earned each semester must fulfill program requirements as specified in program description. Permission of the concentration committee required. STAFF.

4.00 Credits
Scientific description of the language: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Contributions of various schools: traditional, descriptive, and generative-transformational grammars. Survey of the subdisciplines psycho- and sociolinguistics. For those who have a general interest in language and those who need some acquaintance with linguistics for their studies in other fields. Prerequisite: none. STAFF.

Also listed as Social Studies 115. Introduces the notions of variability and uncertainty and such common statistical concepts as point and interval estimation and hypothesis testing. Data-oriented, with real-world examples chosen from the social and biological sciences. The computer is used for data analysis and to illustrate probabilistic and statistical concepts. Prerequisite: two years of high school algebra and second semester of first-year standing, or permission of instructor. STAFF.

4.00 Credits
An introductory course in mathematics and the first in a two-course sequence. This first semester is an introduction to the differential calculus of functions of one variable with an extensive review of precalculus topics such as algebra and functions. This review, together with an emphasis on developing problem- solving skills, is designed to help students learn to do mathematics at the college level. Mathematics 123-124 has the same calculus content as Mathematics 131. Prerequisite: two years of high school algebra. STAFF.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Mathematics 123. An introduction to the integral calculus of functions of one variable. Topics include the definite integral, techniques of integration, and applications of the integral. Successful completion of this course prepares students for Mathematics 133. Prerequisite: Mathematics 123 or permission of instructor. MOSLEY.

4.00 Credits
The normal first course in mathematics and the first in a two-course sequence. An introduction to the differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable. Also introduces a few concepts and methods of differential equations. Prerequisite: good preparation, including trigonometry, or departmental placement. STAFF.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Mathematics 131. Topics include functions of more than one variable: partial and total derivatives, multiple integrals, vector-valued functions, parametrized curves, and applications to differential equations. Prerequisite: Mathematics 124, or 131, or permission of instructor. STAFF.
