With an emphasis on principles common among many living organisms, this course explores the beauty and wonder inherent in the developmental processes that are shaped on a multitude of levels including genetic, cellular, organismal, ecological, and evolutionary.

Overview and exploration of fundamental concepts and processes in genetics including heredity, mitosis, meiosis, DNA replication, transcription, translation, segregation, linkage, recombination, epistasis, selection, migration, drift, and evolution.

High-throughput technologies produce massive amounts of data, much too large to analyze by hand. The goal of this course is to learn how to analyze DNA, RNA, and protein sequences using computers.

Introductory biology course examining topics through the disciple of biology.

The focus of this semester will be to develop conceptual, diagrammatic and mathematical models that describe the macroscopic behavior of matter.

Structure, methods of preparation, and reactions of important classes of organic compounds will be stressed. 

Overview of communication theory, internet layer model, and network architectures.

The course will be problem driven with a focus on collecting and manipulating data, using exploratory data analysis and visualization tools, identifying statistical methods appropriate for the question at hand, and communicating the results in both written and presentation form.

Sets, cardinality, number theory, combinatorics, probability. Proof techniques and problem solving. Additional topics may include graph theory, finite fields, and computer experimentation. 

Field axioms, the real and complex fields, sequences and series. Complex functions, continuity and differentiation; power series and the complex exponential.

Modern approaches to the multivariable derivative and the multivariable integral--the former characterized intrinsically as a well approximating linear map, the latter treated via the algebra of differential forms--unify many disparate classical phenomena.

This course is an introduction to elementary particle physics, the description of Nature at the shortest distance scales. This class will emphasize the theoretical underpinnings of the Standard Model of particle physics and its experimental verification.

Calculus-based introduction to electricity and magnetism, optics, and other topics at the discretion of the instructor.
