Topics in Video Game Programming — CS4113.01

Spring 2021
Instructor: Justin Vasselli
Credits: 4
Video Game development draws on many different sub-disciplines of computer science.  The game engine that the game is built on is a combination of graphics and physics programming; non-player characters, both friend and foe, are driven by Artificial Intelligence;  network programming connects players from across the room to across the globe.  This course will

Topology — MAT4220.02

Fall 2020
Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 4
On the surface of a doughnut, there are fundamentally two different ways to wrap a closed path on the surface (through the whole or around the ring); every possible way is a combination of these two. This doesn’t depend on the exact dimensions of the doughnut. For another example, a loop of string tied into a trefoil knot can’t be deformed into a square knot. Topology can be

Understanding PFOA in Our Water — APA2158.01

Fall 2016
Instructor: David Bond
Credits: 2
In 2014, the chemical Perfluorooctanoic acid (C8 or PFOA) was discovered in the drinking water in the Village of Hoosick Falls, NY. As concern over this groundwater contamination grew, other communities began testing their water for PFOA. As of March 2016, PFOA has been discovered in the groundwater of Petersburgh, NY, Merrimack, NH, and in North Bennington, VT (the public

Uses and Abuses of Statistics — MAT2103.01

Spring 2017
Instructor:
Credits: 4
This course will attempt to answer the question "What is valid data -- and how do you know?" By looking at real life data sets, we will work on reading, assessing, and producing statistics as they relate to different fields. We will work to locate the source data, understand statistical language, and look at how the visual representation of data can change how we perceive facts

Vertebrate Physiology — BIO4115.01

Spring 2022
Instructor: Blake Jones
Credits: 4
Physiology is the study of how organisms work. In this course we will focus on the integrative aspects of physiology of vertebrates. We will explore comparative, mechanistic, and functional aspects in the context of how various systems in various taxa are adapted to their environments. We will cover the physiology of selected systems, including skeletal, digestion, circulation,

Women and Men: The Biology of the Sexes — BIO2203.01

Spring 2017
Instructor: Elizabeth Sherman
Credits: 4
What are the biological differences between men and women and how do they come about? Beyond the obvious reproductive differences, do other biological differences influence the behavior of women and men? For example, not only do women and men differ in various sex hormone levels, but their brains are influenced in different ways by those hormones. To what extent are the
