  • LINGH 282: Structure of Chinese

    3.00 Credits
    Haverford College

    SO S.Huang This course is designed to provide an overview of the historical development of the Chinese language and its structures in terms of phonetics/phonology, syntax and semantics. The goal is to help students look at Chinese from both a historical and a theoretical perspective. Students from Linguistics will have an opportunity to enrich and broaden their understanding of linguistic theories and methodologies, and to develop skills in analyzing a non-Indo-European language, while students who have completed at least Second-year Chinese will be exposed to systematic analyses of the language to learn the general patterns. (Cross-listed in East Asian Studies.) Prerequisites: At least two of the following three: Introduction to Syntax, Introduction to Semantics, Second-year Chinese or above. Or consent of the instructor. No knowledge of Chinese is required. Not offered in 08-09.

  • LINGH 365: The Politics of Language in the Spanish-Speaking World

    3.00 Credits
    Haverford College

    A.López-Sánchez The course will explore the relationship between (national) identity and language, and the specific outcomes of (language) policies and educational practices in societies where Spanish is spoken, generally alongside other mother tongues, often as the dominant language, but also in a minority situation. Prerequisite: A 200 level or consent of instructor. Enrollment limited to 18 students

  • LINGH 382: Syntax and Semantics of Mandarin Chinese

    3.00 Credits
    Haverford College

    HU S.Huang An examination of some of the core issues in the study of Mandarin Chinese in terms of its syntactic and semantic structures. The aim is to look at a rich array of data as analyzed by practicing theoreticians and appreciate the inner workings of the language and their theoretical implications. Along the way students learn to make mid-level generalizations and hone their analytical skills. Cross-listed in East Asian Studies. (This course will satisfy the "Structure of X" requirement in years when no other such courses are offered in Tri-co. Offered every other year.) Prerequisites: Introduction to Syntax, and Introduction to Semantics. LING282 Structure of Chinese is desirable but not required. Sophomore standing or above.

  • Mathematics 104: Calculus:Concepts and History

    3.00 Credits
    Haverford College

    NA/QU (Cross-listed in Independent College Programs) J.Tecosky-Feldman An introduction to the history and development of the ideas of calculus, one of the most beautiful and useful creations of the human intellect. Beginning with a study of achievements of Archimedes and his predecessors, the course will follow the historical progression of the concepts of function, derivative and integral, including developments, such as fractals. In addition to regular problem sets, students will be required to write essays explaining the important concepts of the course. This course is suitable for students interested in a nontechnical survey of the ideas of calculus. In particular, it does not cover the same amount of material as MATH 113, and cannot substitute for MATH 113 in any course requiring MATH 113 as a prerequisite (such as MATH 114). Prerequisite: Not ordinarily open to students who have studied calculus previously. Offered occasionally.

  • Mathematics 113: Calculus I

    2.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Haverford College

    NA/QU J.Tecosky-Feldman An introduction to calculus of a single variable. Topics include limits, differentiation and integration, and the fundamental theorem of calculus with applications to the natural and social sciences. The intensive section offered each spring, MATH 113B, is designed for students who need and desire extra help with precalculus concepts; it meets for three 2-hour sessions each week. Prerequisite: A solid background in precalculus.

  • Mathematics 114: Introductory Integral Calculus

    3.00 Credits
    Haverford College

    NA/QU Y.Tai An introduction to the theory and applications of the definite and indefinite integral. Includes numerical and analytical techniques for computing integrals and applications to differential equations. This is a quarter-long course offered in the first half of both the fall and spring semesters. Students typically take either MATH 115 or 116 in the second half of the semester in which they take MATH 114. Prerequisite: MATH 113 or advanced placement.
