4.00 Credits
Fall. Credits: 4. Senior Seminar is an interdisciplinary research project from the following departments: Anthropology/Sociology; History; International Studies; Foreign Languages (Spanish). Students must combine two disciplines in their research and work under the supervision of the faculty from the departments who are also members of the Latin American Studies Committee.

4.00 Credits
Fall. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F6. A broad introduction to computing appropriate for all students, regardless of intended major. This course introduces fundamentals of computers and computer information management primarily through projects that emphasize mastery of basic concepts, acquisition of skills, and logical reasoning. Concepts presented include computer data representation, an intro to architecture and how computers work, and basic network organization. Skills are developed to facilitate the use of a computer for communication and online research. Logical reasoning is fostered through working with models and abstraction, algorithmic thinking with an intro to programming, and critical evaluation of the use of computers and technology. Emphasis is on the development of a conceptual framework for further learning and problem-solving with computers, rather than on the use of specific software or hardware.

4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science. A course designed for the non-mathematics major. Possible topics may include (but are not restricted to) music and math and mathematical modeling. Prerequisites: Minimal, depending on the topic.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F6. Topics include systems of linear equations, matrices, matrix inversion and applications (including Leontief input-output analysis), mathematical programming, linear programming and the simplex method, finite Markov chains, and game theory. Prerequisites: None.

4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F6. This course is an examination of conventional cryptographic methods (such as substitution and transposition ciphers), public key methods (such as RSA, a standard method for secure web transactions), and computer-based conventional cryptographic techniques (block ciphers and hash functions). We will develop and use mathematical tools such as modular arithmetic, probability, matrix algebra, and number theory both to implement and cryptanalyze these methods. In addition, we will deal with a few of the technical and public policy issues surrounding uses of encryption. Prerequisites: None.

4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F6. This course includes the following topics: descriptive statistics, sample spaces, counting procedures, compound events, random variables, discrete and continuous probability distributions, expectation, estimation, hypothesis testing, correlation, and simple linear regression. Computer statistical packages will be used. Students who have already had Math 122 should consider taking Math 311-312 instead. Prerequisites: None.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F6. This one-semester course presents an introduction to applied mathematics and an overview of calculus: applications of the derivative, the definite Integral, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, partial derivatives and double integrals. Applications will involve the use of a variety of functions, including exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. Each topic is introduced through the modeling process; computer-based applications and group work are major components of this course. (Note: Students who have already had Math 121 may not earn credit for Math 115. Math 115 is not adequate preparation for Math 122.) Prerequisites: None.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F6. This course is an introduction to the concepts, formalism, and applications of derivatives and integrals. Elementary transcendental functions are used throughout; specific topics include limits, the derivative, applications of differentiation, the definite integral, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Prerequisites: Students will need a background in high school algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and exponential and logarithmic functions.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F6. This course is an introduction to (1) formal and numerical techniques of integration, (2) Taylor's theorem, sequences, series, power series, and their applications, (3) applications of integration and series to solving first-order and linear differential equations, and (4) applications of integration to calculate area, length, volume, probability, work, centroids, and fluid pressure. Prerequisites: Math 121.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F6. An introduction to the fundamental concepts and practices of procedural programming. Topics include data types, control structures, functions, arrays, files, and the mechanics of running, testing, and debugging. Emphasis is placed on program design and problem solving techniques. The course also includes an introduction to the historical and social context of computing and an overview of computer science as a discipline.
