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.

Cognitive neuroscience of words and memory — PSY4246.01

Instructor: Faculty TBA
Days & Time: TU,FR 10:30am-12:20pm
Credits: 4

How do cognitive neuroscientists examine words and word meanings?  What are the different ways we can remember words, such as definitions (鈥減ollo鈥, 鈥渏i鈥, 鈥渃hicken鈥) and lyrics, and how do words work in our brains?   Why do we sometimes struggle to remember a word that comes to mind easily later on?  Are words and images stored together or separately in our brains?  These questions and more will be addressed in this course, after an overview of the central nervous system.
