I know I have! If you find yourself on the curious/paranoid side as I do, then indulge yourself in:“Mathematical Police Find Security Bug- Cryptographers uncover potential weakness in encryption algorithms” http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20071208/mathtrek.asp Also, did you ever feel good about yourself knowing you are successfully studying Mathematics at the college level? Well, Journalist Charles Q. Choi certainly has something say that should really make you feel proud! And I quote: “Monkeys can perform mental addition in a manner remarkably similar to collegestudents, a new study shows” For more on this check out: “Monkeys Do Math Almost as Well as Humans” http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,317526,00.html And, while we are on the subject of animals… If you have an interest in Fractals, you may want to read: “Flying without Fractals-A new study raises doubts about fractal patterns in animal behavior” http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20071215/mathtrek.asp - List of Courses that Satisfy the “W” Requirement As many of you know (and have come to see me about), the Math department does not offer a course that satisfies the “W” requirement. Therefore, I thought it might be helpful if I prepared a list of courses that will fulfill this requirement that has been nagging on you all these years. Keep in mind this is a condensed list. I haveintentionally eft out: those courses that have upper division prerequisites, those that have several prerequisites (so many that it would not be feasible), and those that are restricted to their own majors. For a complete list of “W” courses, please see page 31 of the 2006-2008 General Catalog The following courses satisfy the “W” General Ed Requirement: *Not offered in 2007-2008 Courses in parentheses are prerequisites American Studies 114B* Marxist Thought in American Culture (Satisfaction of Entry Level Writing and Composition Requirements) Anthropology 152 Survey of Cultural Anthropological Theory- W (course 2 and satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements)170 History of Archaeological Theory- F (course 3; satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements) Biology 89W Clinical Health Care: Organization and Financing-F (permission of instructor and satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements) Community Studies 121* Health and Human Rights in Prison (satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and personal interview during the preceding winter quarter)Composition requirements) 160* Communities, Problems and Interventions (satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements) Crown College 123 Science and Human Values- S (satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements; permission of instructor after written application and Economics 106 Evolutionary Thought in the Social Sciences-S (satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements) 107 Economic Justice-S (course 1, satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements) Environmental Studies 172* Science, Policy, and the Environment (satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements) Feminist Studies 117* Gender and Africa (satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements; Enrollment restricted to juniors and seniors) 155* Women Workers in Transnational Context (course 80C (formerly 1B)andsatisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and Composition requirements.
