Global Environmental Literature
The title of the course suggests two important themes that will orient our discussions and readings: First, how does literature reflect and represent the super/natural world? Second, how do those representations differ across cultures and geographies? What does that tell us about human relationships to the world around us, as well as how heterogenous those […]
Climate and Water: The physical science basis and key processes
This course will brief the key processes of hydrology and meteorology, two intertwined Earth-science disciplines that focus on the terrestrial water cycle. The students will first be introduced to the fundamental sciences governing the climate and hydrological systems, represented by a wide range of variables such as precipitation, wind, air pressure, evaporation, (sub)surface water, and […]
Chinese Foreign Policy Making: Vietnam, U.S. and Beyond
With its expanding economy and ever-deeper international integration China is playing an increasingly significant role in the world affairs.

A masterpiece in mathematics could be compared to a great drawing or a classic novel. As an example, Martin Hairer’s regularity structure is compared to Lord of the […]
Engineering Exploration: Sink or Swim (NEW)
The project-based course guides students to perform engineering analysis through real-world examples. Describing physical systems with mathematical models can speed up the engineering design process as well as enhance the overall quality of the final products. Throughout 3 major projects (pop-pop engine boat, mouse trap car, and ninja robot), students will apply quantitative engineering analysis […]
Computer Organization
Computing systems, such as mobile phones, laptops or personal computers, have been an important parts of human beings’ everyday life. For example, computer scientists, programmers and engineers use computing systems in many of their every tasks. In principle, understanding of what is going on beyond the statements in high-level programming languages such as Python, Java, […]
