Physics I: Forces and Motion (with lab) — PHY2235.01

Instructor: Hugh Crowl

Credits: 4

Physics is the study of what Newton called “the System of the World.” To know the System of the World is to know what forces are out there and how those forces operate on things. These forces explain the dynamics of the world around us: from the path of a falling apple to the motion of a car down the highway to the flight of a rocket from the Earth. Careful analysis of the

How does influence travel from one thing to another? In Newton’s mechanics of particles and forces, influences travel instantaneously across arbitrarily far distances. Newton himself felt this to be incorrect, but he did not suggest a solution to this problem of “action at a distance.” To solve this problem, we need a richer ontology: The world is made not only of particles,

Planet Earth — ES2108.01

Instructor: Chelsea Corr

Credits: 4

In 1972, the crew aboard the Apollo 17 spacecraft captured what would become one of the most widely used photos of all time: an image of Earth as seen from 45,000 km above. From this view, it was apparent that our home planet is a complex system consisting of a web of interconnected biological, chemical, and physical components. We will explore the physical aspects of

Plants define the biological environment. All other organisms depend on plantsʹ capacity for photosynthesis. Plant structure and chemistry have shaped animal (including human) evolution, and we directly depend on plant products for food, medicine, structural materials, and many other things. Yet few people can name even the dominant plants in their environment, explain what

Since the arrival of Large Language Models like ChatGPT, many have wondered—even panicked—about how this new technology would impact creative writing. But literature has always been shaped by the technology of its time. In this 2-credit class, we will look beyond the common assumption of poems as ideally “timeless” to examine how poetry

Polynomials and Geometry — MAT2117.01

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre

Credits: 4

This course builds on and extends high school algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. It develops these topics from a classical and historical perspective. It is one good entry point for students who are confident with high school algebra and precalculus, and it may be used as a prerequisite for Calculus A, Linear Algebra, and some other more advanced mathematics classes.

Population Ecology and Ecological Models — BIO4116.01

Instructor: Katie Montovan

Credits: 4

This course provides a theoretical and quantitative exploration of the processes and principles associated with population dynamics. We will learn about key ideas in population ecology (such as density dependence, competition, evolution, predation, and parasitism) and then learn about how to represent these theories as mathematical models. We will learn to use the programming

Data can come to us in many forms: tables, charts, graphs, observations, experimental results, and other less formal avenues. To best understand the world around us, we must be able to take that data, answer questions, and then convey those answers to others in a clear, concise manner. This course will show different methods for presenting statistical data to others as well as
