LAS 349-7 - Topic: Cuba: Collision of Cultures (1) In the 1940s, Cuban intellectual Fernando Ortiz compared Cuban culture to a stew called “ajiaco.” In this stew - which is composed of Indian, African, and European elements - each ingredient maintains its own particular flavors while combining into a new whole. One can also continuously add new ingredients to the stew as it is being served, making it constantly replenishable. Ortiz named this cultural synthesis “transculturation.” In this course, we will use “transculturation” as a guiding concept to help us navigate our analysis of Cuban history, music, film, literature, and politics.

MAT 105 - First Year Seminar in Mathematics (1) This first year seminar is designed for students who would like to experience the creativity and beauty of significant mathematical ideas through the process of mathematical discovery. While the ideas investigated will not require significant previous mathematical experience (three years of high school mathematics is sufficient) the first-year seminar demands mathematical curiosity, enthusiasm and flexibility, as the ideas to be investigated will be challenging. Students interested in majoring in mathematics are encouraged to take this seminar even though it does not count for the major because they will be exposed to ideas that are not covered elsewhere in the curriculum. See Topics Courses . Prerequisite: Three years of high school mathematics.

MAT 105-1 - Counting to Infinity in 18 days (FYS) (1) The idea of infinity has fascinated humanity since the beginning of time. Small children want to know what the largest number is and are amazed that there is no largest number. In popular culture, Buzz Lightyear in “Toy Story” is associated with the phrase “To infinity … and beyond!” But what is beyond infinity? For that matter, what exactly is infinity? This course will investigate the mathematics of infinity as well as mathematics and mathematicians in the context of their time and culture. Students will have the opportunity to creatively investigate aspects of infinity that interest them. The mathematics covered is accessible, exciting and mathematically significant. Students will be expected to enroll in an online learning community and will receive ¼ additional adjunct course credit for their participation during the fall semester. FREEMAN

MUS 109 - First Year Seminar in Music (FYS) (1) The topic of “Opera and Film” has become one of the “hot” areas of scholarship in the past fifteen or so years. Both opera and film use a conglomeration of other constituent arts to create what Richard Wagner called a Gesamtkunstwerk or total artwork. (In fact, many of the first efforts in film were derived from opera and more specifically, Wagner.) My intention with this course is to explore the intersections between opera and film, using theories and practices of both genres, as well as numerous specific examples of the interplay between them.
