Nonlinear Dynamical Systems — MAT4127.01

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

Differential equations are a powerful and pervasive mathematical tool in the sciences and are fundamental in pure mathematics as well. Almost every system whose components interact continuously over time can be modeled by a differential equation, and differential equation models and analyses of these systems are common in the literature in many fields including physics, ecology, biology, astronomy, and economics.

Teaching Languages and Cultures — CSL2000.01

Instructor: No毛lle Rouxel-Cubberly
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

The study of foreign languages and cultures is a crucial asset. For some, it is a life-saving necessity. For others it represents a powerful tool in a toolkit for antiracism, social justice, and intercultural understanding. In this course, students will gain a basic understanding of language and culture teaching to young children and adults. Discussions with local teachers and language acquisition experts will provide a professional perspective on the course content.

examining space — SCU2214.01

Instructor: John Umphlett
Days & Time: TH 8:30am-12:10pm
Credits: 4

Are you interested in taking a closer look at the  immediate and collective spaces that we live in? What are some of the realities that exist around us and why/ how can we build work that pushes against these basic constructs.

molds — SCU2215.02

Instructor: John Umphlett
Days & Time: MO 1:40pm-5:20pm
Credits: 2

This course explores the art and technique of mold making and its supportive processes.Think about all the teeth molds we make when we munch through our evening supper. Our mouths often act as molds to shape the pressures related to communication and speech.  This class will investigate processes related to many different types of molds, from making multiple plaster part molds to flexible silicone examples.

Linear Algebra: An Introduction — MAT2482.01

Instructor: Joe Mundt
Days & Time: T/Th 6:30PM-8:30PM
Credits: 4

Together with calculus, linear algebra is one of the foundations of higher-level mathematics and its applications. This is NOT just the algebra you know from high school. There are several perspectives one can take on linear algebra: it is a method for handling large systems of linear equations, it is a theory of linear geometry (including in dimensions larger than three), it is matrix algebra, and it is a theoretical structure that appears throughout mathematics, physics, computer science, and statistics.

Sets and Structures — MAT2121.01

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Days & Time: MO,TH 1:40pm-3:30pm
Credits: 4

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, mathematics underwent a vast expansion, into new, exciting, and increasingly counter-intuitive realms. The subject risked mystification and mutual incomprehensibility between experts in different sub-fields. In the first part of the twentieth century, a group of French mathematicians, under the pseudonym Bourbaki, undertook an ultimately successful program to use the foundation of set theory to put all of mathematics onto a common conceptual and logical foundation.
