Advanced Photoshop €? Issue No. 121

A World of MathematicsHow long will oil last? What is the fairest voting system? How can we harvest food and other resources sustainably? To explore such real-world questions we will study a variety of mathematical ideas and methods, including modeling, logical analysis, discrete dynamical systems, and elementary statistics. This is an alternative first mathematics course for students not pursuing the calculus sequence in their first semester. The only prerequisite is an interest in exploring contemporary issues using the mathematics that lies within those issues. (Approval required; This course is not open to students who have had a prior course in calculus or statistics.) 3 hrs lect./disc.

Introduction to Data ScienceIn this course students will gain exposure to the entire data science pipeline: forming a statistical question, collecting and cleaning data sets, performing exploratory data analyses, identifying appropriate statistical techniques, and communicating the results, all the while leaning heavily on open source computational tools, in particular the R statistical software language. We will focus on analyzing real, messy, and large data sets, requiring the use of advanced data manipulation/wrangling and data visualization packages. Students will be required to bring alaptop (owned or college-loaned) to class as many lectures will involve in-class computational activities. (formerly MATH216) 3 hrs lect./disc.

Advanced StudyIndividual study for qualified students in more advanced topics in algebra, number theory, real or complex analysis, topology. Particularly suited for those who enter with advanced standing. (Approval required) 3 hrs. lect./disc.

Finite Fields SeminarThis course is a tutorial in the theory and applications of finite fields, which lie in the intersection of algebra and number theory. Working in small groups, students will study the fundamental structure and properties of finite fields (also known as Galois fields). They will then work independently, exploring applications in cryptography, coding theory, or other areas. Students will gain experience reading advanced sources and communicating their insights in expository writing and oral presentations. This course fulfills the capstone senior work requirement for the mathematics major. (MATH 0241 or MATH 0302; Approval required) 3 hrs. Sem

Advanced Probability SeminarAn introduction to the mathematical foundations of Probability for students who have completed work in Probability and Real Analysis. The central ideas correspond to the Lebesgue theory of measure and integration. Probability provides additional perspective and motivates intriguing applications of the theory, which students will explore in their final projects. Working independently and in small groups, students will gain experience reading advanced sources and communicating their insights through expository writing and oral presentations. This course fulfills the capstone senior work requirement for the mathematics major. (MATH 310 and MATH 323)

Advanced Mathematical Modeling SeminarA tutorial on advanced mathematical model building and analysis for students who have completed work in Differential Equations and Probability. We will study deterministic and stochastic models of interacting populations with a focus on mathematical ecology and epidemiology. Working independently and in small groups, students will gain experience reading advanced sources and communicating their insights in expository writing and oral presentations. Fulfills the capstone senior work requirement for the mathematics major. (Approval Only) 3 hrs. Sem.

Topics in Analysis SeminarThe foundation in analysis covered in MATH 0323 provides the tools necessary to engage a range of important and fascinating topics of both a pure and applied nature. In the first part of this seminar we will collectively work our way through the theory of Lebesgue measure and integration, studying the classical Banach spaces of integrable functions. After this common introduction, students will each choose a project from a range of options that includes topics in functional analysis (e.g., the open mapping theorem, the Hahn-Banach theorem) or more classical real analysis (e.g., Fourier series, orthogonal polynomials, the gamma function). Working independently and in small groups, students will gain experience reading advanced sources and communicating their insights in expository writing and oral presentations. This course fulfills the capstone senior work requirement for the mathematics major. (MATH 0323 or by approval). 3 hrs. sem.

Mathematical Methods in Fluid DynamicsThis course is an introduction to the mathematical models and methods used in modern fluid dynamics. Students will derive and analyze fundamental equations of fluid flow, explore their applications, as well as examine theoretical and practical solution techniques. Equations of study will include the Poisson, diffusion, and Navier-Stokes equations. We will also introduce basic methods of computational fluid dynamics. Working independently and in small groups, students will gain experience reading advanced sources and communicating their insights in expository writing and oral presentations. Fulfills the capstone senior work requirement for the mathematics major. 3 hrs. Lect./Lab (Approval Only)

Advanced Number TheoryA senior tutorial on some topics in advanced elementary number theory and an introduction to analytic number theory. In this course we will review key areas of elementary number theory and abstract algebra followed by the study of integer partitions, continued fractions, rational approximations of irrationals, primes and primality testing, the average order of magnitude of several number theoretic functions, the Basel problem, Bernoulli numbers, and the Riemann zeta function. (MATH 0241 or MATH 0302) 3 hrs. sem.

(Previously PHOTO 115) PHOTO 156 is an advanced photography course covering principles and practices within the field for hire or exhibition. Students construct artist resumes and artist statements related to their work. Course includes promotion, portfolio layout, releases, estimates, invoices, gallery negotiations, and image licensing issues for photographers. Students must have a developed body of photographic work that will be used for class projects. Note: Students who previously completed PHOTO 115 prior to Fall 2019 will not receive credit for PHOTO 156. Lecture 3 hours. Prerequisite: PHOTO 101. Course Typically Offered: Spring.

Studies using rhesus monkeys have reported that retinal ischemia lasting more than 4 h results in irreversible morphological and functional retinal damage [4]. Clinical trials of surgical removal of the embolus [5], local intra-arterial fibrinolysis [6, 7], and use of intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator [8, 9] have been reported. Additionally, a meta-analysis investigating visual prognosis of CRAO patients has suggested that early systemic fibrinolytic therapy might result in a better visual prognosis [10]. Despite this, no effective treatment for improving visual outcomes in CRAO patients has been established to date [10].

A THR 120 Understanding Design for the Performing Arts (3)An introduction to the creative and historical processes, principles, and practices of design for the performing arts. Using theatre as the primary form, this course provides an overview of scenery, lighting, costuming, sound, and special effects, examining how each plays a role in defining resolutions to the major issues of live performance design.
