Classes Fall 2009
Math 3353: Linear Algebra
Matrices and linear equations, Gaussian elimination, determinants, rank, geometrical notions, eigenvalue problems, and coordinate transformations, norms, inner products, orthogonal projections, Gram-Schmidt and least squares.
EE 2370/2170: Design and Analysis of Systems and Signals
This course introduces students to standard mathematical tools for analyzing and designing various continous-time signals and systems. Frequency domain design and analysis techniques are studied as well as the Fourier and Laplace Transforms. Applications to be studied include modulation and demodulation in communications and processing of audio signals..
EE 2322/2122: Electronic Circuits 1
An introduction to nonlinear devices used in electronic circuits. The course will cover the DC and AC analysis of circuits employing diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and MOSFETs. Topics include device I-V characteristics, biasing, transfer characteristic, gain, power dissipation and the design of amplifier circuits and logic circuits. SPICE simulation will also be introduced in this course for DC and transient simulations.
EE 2381/2181: Digital Computer Logic
Digital computers and information; combinational logic circuits; combinational logic design; sequential circuits including finite-state machines; registers and counters; and memory and programmed logic design. Design and simulation of digital computer logic circuits are studied.
PHIL 1318: Contemporary Moral Problems: Honors
An introduction to philosophical ethics focusing on questions in applied ethics. Students will explore ethical theories, philosophical methods, and their application to some of the most controversial and pressing issues confronting contemporary society. Topics vary, but the following are representative: abortion, animal rights, affirmative action, capital punishment, economic justice, euthanasia, sexuality, war and terrorism, and world hunger. Class discussion is an important component of the course, as is reading and writing argumentative essays about these issues.
