  • Physics and Astronomy 92: Physics of the Early Universe

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    09W: 11 Offered in alternate years An introduction to the study of the early universe, focusing on the interaction of nuclear and particle physics and cosmology, the so-called inner-space outer-space connection. After an investigation of the Robertson-Walker metric and its application to the Big Bang model, the course will address the following topics; thermodynamics in an expanding universe; nucleosynthesis (synthesis of light nuclei) and baryogenesis (origin of excess matter over antimatter); inflationary models of cosmology; primordial phase transitions; introduction to quantum cosmology. Prerequisites: Physics 41-44, and Astronomy 25 (recommended). Dist: SCI. Gleiser.

  • POLITICAL ANALYSIS 10: Quantitative Political Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    09W: 10 09S, 09X: 11 09F: 10A 10W, 10S: 10 This course will provide students with useful tools for undertaking empirical research in political science and will help them to become informed consumers of quantitative political analysis. The course will first consider the general theoretical concepts underlying empirical research, including the nature of causality, the structure and content of theories, and the formulation and testing of competing hypotheses. The course will then employ these concepts to develop several quantitative approaches to political analysis. Students will be introduced to two statistical methods frequently used by political scientists, contingency tables and linear regression. By learning to systematically analyze political data, students will gain the ability to better conduct and evaluate empirical research in both its quantitative and qualitative forms. Because of the large overlap in material covered, no student may receive credit for more than one of the courses Government 10, Economics 10, Mathematics 10, Psychology 10, Social Sciences 10, Mathematics and Social Sciences 15 or 45, or Sociology 10 except by special petition. Dist: QDS. Bafumi, Herron.

  • POLITICAL ANALYSIS 18: The Theory of Choice and Introductory Political Game Theory

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    09W, 10W: 11 Game theory is used to study how individuals or organizations interact strategically, and this course introduces game theory with a focus on political science applications. Insights from game theory are essential to understanding many facets of politics, such as international relations and political party competition. Among other topics the course will cover Nash equilibria, normal and extensive form games, and the basics of repeated games. The course will also focus on how simple games, like the prisoner's dilemma and chicken, can be used to understand patterns of human and organizational behavior. Dist: QDS. Herron.

  • POLITICAL ANALYSIS 19: Topics in Political Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    08F: 2A 09W, 10W: 12 This course will enable regular or visiting faculty members to examine political topics not treated in the established curriculum. Subjects may therefore vary each time the course is offered. Dist: Varies. In 08F at 2A, Research Design and Qualitative Analysis. This course surveys qualitative methods and research design. First, it introduces qualitative methods' tools, techniques, strengths and limitations. It then explores the craft of research design and effective communication. Unlike traditional political analysis courses, this class is a practicum for those actively engaged in research. It is ideal for individuals contemplating a thesis or independent study because students concentrate on one topic throughout the term. However, it will benefit anyone interested in political science research. Coggins. In 09W, 10W at 12, Advanced Political Analysis (formerly Advanced Statistical Methods for Political Research). This course introduces mathematical and statistical models in the social sciences beyond the level of bivariate regression. Topics to be covered include multivariate regression, selection bias, discrete choice, maximum likelihood models, multi-level modeling, and experiments. We will use these models to study voter turnout, elections, bargaining in legislatures, public opinion, political tolerance, the causes and duration of wars, gender bias in employment, educational testing, poverty and income, and a host of other topics. Students will write a paper of original research using some of the methods covered in class. Prerequisite: Government 10, Economics 10, Geography 10, Mathematics 10, Psychology 10, Social Sciences 10, or equivalent Dist: QDS Lacy.

  • Psychological and Brain Sciences 10: Experimental Design,Methodology,and Data Analysis Procedures

    3.00 Credits
    Dartmouth College

    09S: 11 09X: 9L 10S: 11 This course is concerned with the various ways whereby empirical information is obtained and analyzed in psychology. Coverage will include the design of experiments and surveys, their execution, and the statistical tasks required to make sense of the data obtained using these techniques. There will be both lecture and discussion sections; independent projects will be required. The discussions and projects will include everyday applied problems as well as more traditional psychological problems. Prerequisite: Psychology 1 or 6 (may be taken concurrently). Because of the large overlap in material covered, no student may receive credit for more than one of the courses Economics 10, Geography 10, Government 10, Mathematics 10, Mathematics 15 or 45, Psychology 10, Social Sciences 10, or Sociology 10 except by special petition. Cannot be taken concurrently with Psychology 11. Dist: QDS. Hull, Pfister.
