Special Projects in Spanish — SPA4812.01

Instructor: Jonathan Pitcher
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

In lieu of more conventional advanced Spanish classes, paralleling a series of often disparate tutorials, with tutees working in relative isolation, the proposal is to allow students free reign over an idea for a final, term-long project, while concurrently offering them an educated, exoteric audience to assist in fleshing out their work.

Discrete Mathematics — MAT4107.01

Instructor: Katie Montovan
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

Discrete mathematics studies problems that can be broken up into distinct pieces. Some examples of these sorts of systems are letters or numbers in a password, pixels on a computer screen, the connections between friends on Facebook, and driving directions (along established roads) between two cities. In this course we will develop the tools needed to solve relevant, real-world problems. Topics will include: combinatorics (clever ways of counting things), number theory and graph theory. Possible applications include probability, social networks, optimization, and cryptography.
