4.00 Credits
An introduction to basic problems in natural resource policy-making in the American West. We focus on forests, public rangelands, national parks, biodiversity, energy, water, and recreation. We also review a variety of conservation strategies, including land trusts, incentive-based approaches, and collaborative conservation.
-
4.00 Credits
This seminar explores the changing political landscape of the American West, with emphasis on changing environmental values and on conflicts over natural resource policy. What are the causes of these conflicts, and what kinds of approaches will be necessary to address them A field trip is required. One meeting per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Methods of solution of physics problems using computational techniques. Problems taken from classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, and thermal physics. Methods include computer modeling, graphical techniques, and simulation. Numerical techniques include those of iteration, relaxation, and the Monte Carlo method. Emphasis on the physical content of solutions and on analyses of their reliability. Lectures, problems, student presentations, and a special project. Prerequisites: Physics 246, some computer programming experience is highly desirable.
