Prerequisites: ECON G6211 and ECON G6212 or the instructors permission. This course covers topics at the frontier of international trade research, placing an emphasis on theory. Previous topics include: trade patterns, offshoring, inequality, unemployment, trade and matching, firm organization, and trade policy.
Prerequisites: calculus. Recommended preparation: linear algebra, statistics, computer programming. Introduction to the fundamentals of quantitative data analysis in Earth and environmental sciences. Topics: review of relevant probability, statistics and linear algebra; linear models and generalized least squares; Fourier analysis and introduction to spectral analysis; filtering time series (convolution,deconvolution,smoothing); factor analysis and empirical orthogonal functions; covariance and correlation; methods of interpolation; statistical significance and hypothesis testing; introduction to Monte Carlo methods for data analysis. Problem sets and term project require use of MATLAB or Python.
This proposed course allows for a variety of potential advanced courses to be taught as part of the proposed concentration on control.
Art Humanities aims to instill in undergraduate students a passion and a critical vocabulary for the study of art as well as a fundamental capacity to engage the world of images and built environments. Principles of Art Humanities aims to prepare instructors to teach Art Humanities. We will study each unit of Art Humanities with an eye toward pedagogy, formal and critical analysis, and a capacious understanding of art and culture of past epochs. The course comprises presentations by the Art Humanities Chair and by weekly invited guests, as well as discussion among all participants. Required of all first-time Art Humanities instructors. Open to retuning instructors.
Prerequisites: EESC W4008, APPH E4210, and advanced calculus, or the instructor's permission. This course is a continuation of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (APPH E4210) which is a prerequisite for this course. Exploration of atmospheric circulation based upon oabservations and interpretive models. Topics include wave/mean-flow interaction (the equilibration of instabilities and the wave-driven contribution to meridional transport), zonally symmetric circulations (Hadley and Ferrel Cells), maintenance of the mid-latitude circulation through extratropical cyclones, the zonally asymmetric circulation (stationary waves and storm tracks), and the stratospheric circulation (the quasi-biennial oscillation and meridional transport).
Prerequisites: EESC GR6901 This course teaches students to design and apply idealized models to study the fundamental properties of climate system processes and their interactions. Though these models typically have at their core only a handful of interacting differential equations, they can significantly advance process understanding. We cover three topical areas in climate system science: (1) the interpretation and attribution of atmospheric methane trends (2) the role of the ocean in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide, and (3) the influence of climate system feedbacks on the Earth’s energy balance. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on identifying assumptions underlying conclusions drawn from simple models and the time scales over which different processes operate.
Looked at one way, the history of cinema is a series of death knells. While the rhetoric of crisis is especially acute today, with the very existence of movie theaters imperiled by the dominance of streaming services, predictions of cinema’s demise are as old as the medium itself — one of its inventors is said to have called it “an invention without a future” and its evolution is marked by moments of technological and cultural change that were perceived or experienced as existential threats.
This course traces the arc of cinema through its many supposed deaths: the industrialization of movies, the arrival of sound, the threat of television and the home theater, the compensatory innovations of color and widescreen and CGI, the rise of media conglomeration, the invention of digital technology, the migration of the moving image into ever more settings and contexts (galleries, portable devices, the virtual realm), and so on. We will explore the circumstances that led to these inflection points and the ways in which each threshold period of change reshaped the landscape and language of cinema. We will also consider the periodic death throes (and various afterlives) of film criticism, film theory, and cinephilia.
Provides students the opportunity to present work in progress or final drafts to other students and relevant faculty to receive guidance and feedback.
