Orders of Magnitude — MOD2102.02

Spring 2016
Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 1
We all have an intuitive sense of how large a number like 10 or 100 is. But is it possible to get some direct grasp on the world’s population, the national debt, the distance to the nearest galaxies, or the time that has passed since the formation of the earth? Mathematicians and scientists do have good ways of understanding and estimating very large numbers, which we’ll

Ordinary Differential Equations — MAT4331.01

Fall 2021
Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 4
Differential equations are the most powerful and most pervasive mathematical tool in the sciences. Any time a law is expressed in the form "what happens in the next moment", we have a differential equation; and determining the long-term behavior is the domain of differential equations. Planets, stars, fluids, electric circuits, predator and prey populations, epidemics: almost

Organizational Structure Enterprise Law — APA2175.02

Fall 2019
Instructor: Charles Crowell
Credits: 2
The common startup mythologies tend to promote the glamor of entrepreneurship. You will work hard in a basement or a garage with no money, but the brilliance of your idea will make you into a heroic (wind-swept) figure to whom investors, customers, and clients (and the popular press) will all be irresistibly attracted. These stories don’t map to reality for most. In contrast,
