OPT MODELS & METHODS FOR FE

Prerequisites: Probability and Statistics at the level of SIEO W3600 or SIEO W4150, and a basic course on Linear Algebra at the level of MATH V2010 or APMA E3101.

This graduate course is only for MS Program in FE students only.
This course introduces the methodology of modeling financial decisions as constrained optimization problems and then selecting appropriate optimization methods to solve these problems. We will specifically discuss linear programming, quadratic and general nonlinear programming, dynamic and stochastic programming. We will also discuss some discrete optimization techniques. The main theoretical features of these optimization methods will be discussed. However, the emphasis will be on modeling financial decision problems and the choice of appropriate optimization methods.

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT needed.
Corequisites: This course is open to undergraduate & graduate students. Knowledge of another language is not required.
Chances are you know something about the Brothers Grimm, but not so much, perhaps, about the complex storytelling traditions to which the stories collected belonged.  This seminar will explore the European fairy tale in all its glorious history, including works written or collected by Charles Perrault, Jean de La Fontaine, Marie de Beaumont, Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy (who first coined the term "conte de fée" or "fairy tale"), Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Alexander Afanasyev, Hans Christian Andersen, Oscar Wilde and George MacDonald.  Throughout the semester, we'll be talking about issues of translation in these tales and comparing them to the fairy-tale-inspired writing of our own age, including work by Angela Carter, Robert Coover, Donald Barthelme,  Kelly Link, Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, Yoko Tawada, George Saunders and others.  Analytical, translational and fantastical assignments.  No foreign language skills required.  Three papers.

DIVA VOICE, DIVA STYLE

Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Department approval NOT required.
The figure of the diva -- the celebrated, iconic, and supremely skilled female performer -- is often characterized by her disciplined voice, singular style, and transgressive approach to the boundaries of convention.  Like the diva, the writer values voice, style, disciplined practice, and the display of virtuosity.  This seminar focuses on how American writers across a range of genres -- poetry, lyric essay, memoir, drama, biography, critical theory -- have turned to the diva as not simply the source of inspiration for their subject matter, but as a method for crafting their own signature voice or style and as a model for crossing the conventional boundaries of genre.  How has diva writing shaped and redrawn the formal contours of the lyric essay, sonnet, ode, elegy, autobiography, or theoretical discourses about race, gender, and sexuality?  What can the writing and performances by and about divas (and diva worship) teach us about our approaches to voice, style, genre, and form in our own writing practices?

EUR LIT IN THE MIDDLE AGES

BOOK CULTURES

Prerequisites: Instructor's permission
(Lecture). Our encounter with the modern print text is a relatively impoverished event, compared to the multi-layered sensory experience of the medieval book. Medieval manuscripts display individualized hands, rubrication and marginalia, decoration and illustration, sometimes indications for performance (like musical notation). They negotiate between sight and sound; as Chaucer tells his
listeners
, paradoxically, if they don't want to hear the Miller's Tale they can turn the
page
. Manuscripts even smell and feel distinctive, depending on the source and preparation of their parchment, or the material of their bindings. In this course, we will attempt to re-conceive and re-embed some literary (and other) "texts" of the Middle Ages, most of them editorially created in the 19th and 20th centuries, within their original sites in the physical culture of the past: that is, in manuscripts and early printed editions, and in the settings of cultural creation and consumption those codices intimately reflect. Studying individual manuscripts in New York collections (especially Columbia University), in facsimile, and on-line, our investigations will move in two main directions. First, we will learn about some of the major arenas of book production across the high and later Middle Ages-the kind of manuscripts through which most people, most often, encountered the written word. These will include books of private devotion (and often public ostentation) such as Psalters and Books of Hours; classroom anthologies and related collections; annals and chronicles; herbals and bestiaries; romances and lives of saints. Most of these use the two dominant languages of high medieval textual culture in England: Latin and French. Among them will be the "Aberdeen Bestiary" and the Anglo-Norman
History of St. Edward the King
by Matthew Paris, or possibly Matthew's
Life of St. Alban
and its manuscript, Trinity College Dublin 177. All these materials will be available in translation. Second, those dominant modes of book culture will provide contexts for investigating manuscripts of what has become the canon of Middle English. For instance, we will study one or more Langland manuscripts, in part via the Electronic Archive of Piers Plowman. We will look at the large and beautifully decorated Ellesmere manuscript of Chaucer, yet look too at Chaucer manuscripts that lay different, more modest claims on his text. Depending on the enrollment and interests of the seminar, we can

NEW WAVE CINE PARIS-HOLLYWOOD

(Lecture). The term "new wave" was coined by a journalist to refer to an "outburst" of filmmaking that took place in France beginning in 1959. Although never a movement, and shortlived in terms of whatever aesthetic uniformity it may have had, its effects spread out across various European cinemas and it became the emblem for various American filmmakers well into the 1970s. The class will analyze a (somewhat random) series of such cineastes in an attempt to understand what now perhaps appears, from the current perspective, as one of the last gasps of high cultural production coming up against the reality of corporate necessity. Filmmakers will include Roberto Rossellini, Jean-Luc Godard, Chirs Marker, Louis Malle, Agnès Varda, Alain Resnais, Wim Wenders, Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, John Cassavetes, Stanley Kubrick, Terrence Malick.

In the first part of the course we will focus writing R programs in the context of simulations, data wrangling, and EDA. Supervised learning deals with prediction problems where the outcome variable is known such as predicting a price of a house in a certain neighborhood or an outcome of a congressional race. The section on unsupervised learning is focused on problems where the outcome variable is not known and the goal of the analysis is to find hidden structure in data such as different market segments from buying patterns or human population structure from genetics data.

The Decameron is read in the light of its cultural density and contextualized in terms of its antecedents, both classical and vernacular, and of its intertexts, especially Dante's Commedia, with particular attention to Boccaccio's masterful exploitation of narrative as a means for undercutting all absolute certainty.

RELIGION LAB

In their research, scholars of religion employ a variety of methods to analyze "texts" ranging from historical documents to objects of visual culture. This course acquaints students with both the methods and the materials utilized in the field of religious studies. Through guided exercises, they acquire research skills for utilizing sources and become familiarized with dominant modes of scholarly discourse. The class is organized around a series of research "scavenger hunts" that are due at the start of each week's class and assigned during the discussion section (to be scheduled on the first day of class).
