Title	Mathematics and Politics
Professor	Mark Halsey
Schedule	Tu Th 1:30 pm -2:50 pm HEG 106

This course considers applications of mathematics to political science. Five major topics will be covered: a model of escalatory behavior, game-theoretic models of international conflict, yes-no voting systems, political power, and social choice. For each model presented, the implications of the model as well as the limitations of the model will be discussed. Students will be actively involved in the modeling process. There is no particular mathematical prerequisite for this course though we will do some algebraic computations from time to time and discuss deductive proofs of some of the main results. Prerequisite: eligibility for Q courses.

Title	Abstract Algebra
Professor	Lauren Rose
Schedule	Tu Th 1:30 pm -2:50 pm ALBEE 106

Title	Partial Differential Equations
Professor	Karen Ricciardi
Schedule	Mon Wed 3:00 pm -4:20 pm ALBEE 106

Partial differential equations are often used to describe natural phenomena affected by more than one variable such as water flow through an aquifer, the convection of heat at the earth's surface and the wave mechanics that create sound. This class covers the classification of partial differential equations and introduces the student to methods used to solve linear equations, first order equations, second order elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic equations. The student is also introduced to the importance of uniqueness and existence of solutions to partial differential equations.
